What Is Grading?

Grading is the process of leveling or sloping land to suit a specific purpose — from construction prep to water drainage correction. It’s a foundational step in any landscaping or building project and plays a crucial role in long-term property performance and safety.

Why Grading Matters

Poor grading leads to a host of problems, including:

  • Standing water
  • Foundation damage
  • Soil erosion
  • Poor drainage
  • Unusable or unattractive outdoor space

That’s why we approach every grading job with careful planning and expert execution — to set your land up for success.
