What's the difference between rough and finish grading?
Rough grading establishes major slopes and elevations, while finish grading creates smooth surfaces ready for landscaping or construction. We use laser levels for finish work to ensure accuracy within one inch.

How do you prevent water from pooling near foundations?
We create positive drainage with minimum 2% slopes directing water away from structures toward appropriate discharge areas. Our grading eliminates depressions where water can collect and cause problems.

Can you grade around existing trees and landscaping?
Yes, we use smaller equipment and hand tools near sensitive areas to avoid root damage. We maintain existing grade levels around established trees while improving drainage in surrounding areas.

What soil preparation is needed before grading?
We remove rocks, roots, and debris, then add topsoil or amendments as needed for your intended use. Clay soils often benefit from organic matter addition before final grading and seeding.

How soon can I plant grass after finish grading?
You can seed immediately after grading if soil moisture and temperature conditions are suitable. We typically recommend waiting 2-3 days for soil to settle before installing sod or starting landscape work.
