Grading that gives water a clear path, protects structures, and turns uneven ground into usable land.

Grading

Scope

Small elevation mistakes create expensive problems. TerraTech reshapes the ground around slabs, driveways, yards, and landscape areas so stormwater moves where it should.

  • Positive drainage away from slabs and framing
  • Rough grading for new landscape and hardscape work
  • Finish grading for sod, planting, mulch, and gravel
  • Low-spot correction and surface drainage planning
  • Cut-and-fill work for usable outdoor space

Process

  1. 01

    Identify where water currently enters, ponds, or accelerates.

  2. 02

    Establish a simple grade plan that protects the structure first.

  3. 03

    Regrade, compact as needed, and finish the surface for the intended use.

Questions

Can grading help if water reaches the house?

Often, yes. The first step is a site walk to confirm whether surface grading, drains, or both are needed.

Do you only do large grading jobs?

No. A focused 1,000-2,000 square foot correction can make a major difference around a home.
