What Is Landscape Grading and Why Does It Matter?

Landscape grading is the process of reshaping the ground surface to control water flow, create level areas, and support healthy lawns and landscaping. Improper grading can lead to standing water, soil erosion, foundation issues, and even basement flooding. A well-graded yard not only prevents these problems but also improves the look and usability of your outdoor space.

Whether you're planning a full backyard renovation or simply need a level base for new sod, proper grading landscaping work is essential.
