Grading & Leveling

We fix uneven yards so water drains right and mowing is safer.

Grading and leveling means reshaping your yard so it slopes away from your house and drains properly. Houston's clay soil and heavy rain mean water pools fast if the ground isn't right. We bring in equipment to cut high spots and fill low ones, then compact it so it stays put through our wet season.

The work happens in stages. We start by checking where water actually sits after rain, then map out the slope you need. We haul in fill material if necessary, grade it smooth, and make sure the pitch moves water away from your foundation and toward the street or a drainage area. Most jobs in Houston take a few days depending on yard size.

When we're done, you'll notice your mower doesn't tilt anymore, puddles disappear after storms, and your foundation stays drier. The yard looks level and clean, ready for seed or sod if you want a fresh lawn to go with it.

Questions

About grading & leveling

How do I know if my yard needs grading?

If water pools in spots after rain, your mower rocks side to side, or you see erosion near your foundation, you need it. We'll walk your yard and show you exactly where the problems are.

Will you have to remove my existing grass?

Usually yes, since we're moving soil around. After grading is done, you can reseed or lay sod. We can talk through options that fit your budget.

How long does a grading job take?

Most residential yards take two to four days. Bigger properties or those with heavy clay take longer. We'll give you a timeline before we start.
