Your yard should be a haven for relaxation, not a land of bumps and pools water. But hey, sometimes life throws you a curveball, and your once-smooth lawn turns into a lumpy disaster. Here’s how to know when it’s time to call in the grading crew:
Proper grading slopes the ground away from your house, so water doesn’t decide to move in. Big dips, bumps, or an uneven surface might mean your yard needs some regrading love. This could be due to compacted soil or uneven watering caused by wonky grading. Regrading can help create a happy, healthy home for your lawn. Foundation issues, moldy/cracks? Big yikes! If you think bad drainage around your house is to blame, grading can help divert water and keep your foundation healthy.
DIY or SOS?
Small grading projects, like around a flower bed, might be a tackle for the adventurous homeowner. But for anything bigger or requiring heavy machinery, it’s best to call in the pros. Grading contractors have the skills and tools to get the job done right, without creating new headaches.
They’ll also be familiar with any local regulations or permits you might need. So, when in doubt, ditch the dirt doctor dreams! Consult Cranes Creek for an evaluation. A well-graded yard is an investment that will keep your home and lawn happy for years to come.
