What is Property/Yard Grading?
Yard grading (also called land grading or lawn grading) alters the surface of your lawn so it slopes away from your home, business, or other structures and eliminate soggy areas. Also, the process of changing the contour or level of the ground to provide a hard and safe surface for construction, landscaping, or other projects. To determine if your yard has poor grading, look for these signs:
Pooling Water: Puddles of water around your home after a rainstorm are a clear indication of poor grading.
Soggy Soil: If the ground around your home constantly feels wet or spongy, it could mean water is not draining properly.
Dead Grass: Patches of dead or rotting grass can indicate that water is pooling in certain areas of your yard.
What are the Benefits of Having My Property/Yard Graded?
As a homeowner or small business, you likely know that drainage issues can cause many problems for a lawn and foundation. Over time, runoff water can cause cracks and weaknesses in a foundation, which can cause leaking, flooding, or even sinking. Here are some other problems that proper grading can solve or even prevent:
A soggy or mushy lawn
Standing water or puddles that attract pests, including mosquitoes
Unsightly mower ruts or other problem areas of sinkage
Mud on your hardscaping that gets tracked indoors
Soil erosion
Suffocation or root rot in trees, bushes, and other plants
