Subgrade is the compacted native or imported soil layer that forms the foundation beneath road base, pavement, or structure slabs. Subgrade must be prepared to a specified elevation, compaction percentage, and bearing capacity before base course or concrete is placed. Subgrade elevation is typically set by grade stakes and verified by grade checks.
