Problem Diagnosis
Uneven Ground
Uneven ground can combine ridges, ruts and broad changes in slope. A smoothing pass may hide small defects while leaving the underlying geometry wrong.
Plan the surface handover
BeforeSurvey the scale and distribution of unevenness.
Work stageSeparate local correction from a full surface redesign; protect areas that already meet the brief.
AfterVerify the changed zones before finishing the entire area.
What to verify
Check both individual deviations and continuity between them.
Diagnosis should distinguish the visible symptom from its cause. Record whether the fault appeared after traffic, a water event, settlement or earlier earthworks. That history helps decide whether the response is a local surface correction, a drainage intervention or a more substantial investigation.
Scope and limits
Do not assume a single uniform plane is the correct outcome.
