When should grading happen in a landscape project?

Early. Grading affects drainage, walls, patios and planting, so it's usually one of the first construction steps.

Do you grade for new construction homes?

Yes. We work with homeowners whose newly built homes need the exterior finished properly, starting with grades and drainage.

Grading That Sets Up Everything Built on Top of It.

The grade of your yard decides where water goes, what can be built and how usable the space is.

We perform grading and final grading for landscape projects, drainage corrections and newer homes where the existing elevations work against the way you want to use the property.

How We Approach It

Our systematic engineering and installation sequence:

01We plan grades around drainage, structures and future hardscape or planting.

02We sequence grading before surfaces, irrigation and landscape installation.

03We keep the finished result in mind, not just moving soil.

Grading & Final Grading: Practical Homeowner Questions

Everything you need to know about our complete project management, site assessments, and construction standards.

Final grading is shaping the soil surface to its finished elevations so water drains away from the home and the yard is ready for lawn, turf, planting or hardscapes.
