What does it involve?

Grading involves leveling and shaping the ground to control how water drains across a property. It includes removing high spots, filling low areas, and sloping the soil away from buildings or toward proper drainage zones. This process prevents flooding, reduces erosion, eliminates standing water, and creates a stable, even surface for landscaping, lawns, or construction projects.

How does it work?

Grading works by moving soil with equipment like bulldozers, skid steers, or hand tools to create a smooth, even surface with the proper slope. High spots are removed, low spots are filled, and the ground is shaped to direct water away from structures or toward drainage areas. Proper grading ensures water flows correctly, prevents puddles or erosion, and provides a solid foundation for lawns, gardens, or construction.
