Drainage issues in your lawn can cause huge problems if they’re not addressed. They can erode your foundation, causing structural issues in your house, or allow mosquitos that are potentially carrying deadly viruses to mate in wet parts of your lawn. If water pools in your yard, especially around your foundation, you might benefit from landscape grading

The Process of Landscape Grading

What Is Yard Grading?

landscape gradingLandscape grading is a way to adjust the slope of your yard to make sure water goes where you want it, whether it’s down a sewer drain or away from your property. This can prevent issues with your foundation or a huge flood in your home. It is done by adding dirt to your yard and creating a slope that will put the water out of sight.

How Do You Properly Grade the Yard?

Hiring a professional landscaping company is the best way to ensure the lawn is graded correctly. They have experience, can bring in several employees, and can finish the job quickly. A steeper slope will generally cost more to grade than one that’s more gradual, and the quality of the soil in your yard can have an impact as well.

Before doing anything, the workers should use a laser measurement to calculate the grade. This will tell them where there are levels and falls and helps them plan the job. They will use materials, like topsoil and sod, and they may bring in tools, like a backhoe or an electric rake. The process should last a few days.
