Land Clearing and Site Preparation

Yard Grading

Yard grading is leveling a yard to create a mild incline. It is the process of correcting the slope of your yard so that rainwater and other precipitation can flow away from the foundation of your home.


A flat lawn can cause serious problems to the foundation of any structure if it is not properly graded. A flat lawn will cause water runoff to pool around the foundation of your house causing leaking, flooding, and sinking. The pools of water will make your lawn soggy and mushy. It will kill your plants and trees and will attract pests such as mosquitoes and other insects carrying diseases. 

A properly graded lawn will lightly slope down away from the foundation of your house in all directions promoting water runoff downhill and thus, preventing damage to your yard and the foundation of your home. 
The yard around your house needs to be leveled creating a slope with a mild incline of about 5%. This will promote water to flow gradually from the foundation of your home in a gentle manner. If the grade of the slope is too high, that could cause erosion problems in the future.
