Ground that
drains.
Rough and finish grading to a slope that sheds water — around structures, across yards and along access.
Most water problems on a property are grading problems. Ground that falls toward a house, a flat spot that holds, a yard that never dries after rain.
Grading fixes the shape of the ground so water has somewhere to go before you spend money on drainage that is treating a symptom.
What you get
- Positive fall away from structures
- Rough and finish grading
- Yard and lot leveling that still drains
- Cut and fill with proper compaction
- Stabilised surface so the grade holds
How It Runs
What actually happens on site.
- Read the fallWhere the ground currently sends water, and where it should.
- Rough gradeBulk shaping — cut, fill and compaction to get the ground close.
- Finish gradeFine shaping to the final surface, with positive fall away from anything that matters.
- StabiliseSeed, straw or stone so the new shape stays where you put it.
On the ground
Questions
Asked about this job.
Will grading fix my wet yard?
Often, yes — a wet yard is usually a flat spot or a low spot that has nowhere to send water. Where the water is subsurface rather than sitting on top, it needs drainage as well.
