Lawn Grading & Leveling

What This Service Involves

Uneven ground makes a lawn scalp on the high spots, pond in the low ones, and jar every mower pass. We regrade the surface to remove bumps and fill hollows, and where needed re-establish a gentle slope that carries water away from the house and off the turf. Minor leveling uses top dressing over the existing lawn; larger corrections involve reworking the soil surface before reseeding or sodding. Proper grade is the foundation every healthy lawn depends on.
