Every yard is different and needs different solutions based on the severity of the situation.

• Grading a yard starts with evaluating the current slope, soil type, and drainage, then establishing a slope away from buildings for adequate water flow.
• The area is cleared of debris, and we have set up reference points to guide grading.
• Soil is excavated from higher areas and filled in lower areas to create a uniform slope, then compacted to prevent unevenness.
• Fine grading involves smoothing the soil and checking the slope to ensure proper drainage.
• If necessary, drainage systems like French drains or catch basins are installed.
• Finally, post-grading care includes seeding or sodding and mulching to prevent erosion.

Leveling and grading are two essential but distinct landscaping processes.

• Leveling primarily focuses on creating a flat or even surface across an area. It is often necessary for structures like patios, pools, or lawns where uniformity is key. It ensures that no area within the designated space is higher or lower than another.
• Yard grading and drainage involve shaping the land to ensure proper drainage away from buildings and prevent water accumulation. 
•  While both processes involve manipulating the earth, yard grading and drainage are explicitly oriented toward water management.
