Why Proper Grading is Important

Grading does more than just level your yard—it helps prevent drainage issues, standing water, soil erosion, and foundation damage. Without the right slope, water can pool around your home, kill your grass, and even lead to costly structural problems. We make sure your property is graded correctly so water flows where it should, keeping your yard and home protected.

Benefits of Proper Grading

  • Prevents Water Damage – Directs water away from your home’s foundation.
  • Prepares for Landscaping & Sod – Creates a smooth, stable surface for new grass or plants.
  • Stops Soil Erosion – Helps keep your yard intact during heavy rain.
  • Improves Drainage – Reduces standing water and muddy areas.

Our Grading Services

Lawn & Sod Preparation

Before installing sod, we grade the land to ensure a smooth surface and proper water flow, helping your new lawn take root and thrive.

Erosion Control & Drainage Fixes

If your yard has low spots, runoff issues, or washouts, we reshape the terrain to keep soil in place and water flowing where it should.

Site Prep for Patios, Driveways & More

Planning to install a patio, walkway, or driveway? We level and grade the area to provide a strong foundation that prevents cracking and shifting over time.

Re-Grading & Land Smoothing

Uneven ground can make mowing difficult and cause puddles after rain. We re-grade and level out rough patches for a healthier, more usable lawn.
