Yard Leveling and Grading

Standing water, ankle-turning low spots, or a lawn that slopes toward the foundation. Grading fixes the problem underneath instead of mowing around it forever.

Machine grading a yard to correct drainage by KP Landscaping in Buffalo NY

What's included

Laser-checked grading: positive pitch away from the house, checked, not eyeballed

Low-spot fill: screened topsoil compacted in lifts so it doesn't re-sink

Drainage solutions: swales, French drains and downspout extensions where water needs a route

Restored finish: seed, sod or hydroseed over every area we disturb

Good to know

Code and common sense both want the ground falling about 6 inches over the first 10 feet from your foundation. If your basement gets damp after storms, walk the outside during rain. Wherever water sits is where we start.

Common questions

Will you wreck the existing lawn?

We disturb only what the grade requires and restore everything we touch. Most jobs look seamless by the next season.

Can you fix water pooling by the foundation?

That's the most common call we get. Regrading plus downspout management solves the large majority of cases without any interior work.
