Small yard grading projects that improve how a lawn or paved area meets the home and surrounding surfaces.

What goes into the job

  • Observe the low spots, slopes and existing drainage routes.
  • Plan elevations without directing water onto neighbouring property.
  • Shape and finish the area with the agreed surface.

What affects the scope?

Area size, soil movement, access, existing landscaping and drainage constraints affect the plan. The estimate follows the on-site conditions and the choices you make.

Getting a useful estimate

Send photos, approximate measurements and a short description of what you want changed. We’ll review the existing conditions, discuss the scope and explain what is included in the estimate. Hidden conditions or changes discovered during work are discussed before extra work is added.

Will grading alone solve basement water?

Not always. Window wells, foundation drainage and other causes may also need investigation.
