What is Lawn Grading?
Lawn grading is the process of reshaping and leveling soil to create a smooth surface and proper water flow.
This includes:
- Filling low spots and depressions
- Smoothing uneven ground
- Adjusting slope for drainage
- Redistributing or adding soil
- Preparing surface for seed or sod
Proper grading is the foundation of a healthy, long-lasting lawn.
When Your Lawn Needs Grading
Lawn grading is recommended if your yard has:
- Uneven or bumpy areas
- Water pooling or drainage issues
- Low spots that collect mud
- Trip hazards or unsafe surfaces
