Clear, Correct and Rebuild
Create a Backyard With More Open Space and Better Ground Conditions
PLS Landscaping renovates Spring backyards by removing selected trees or obstructive landscape material, correcting grade and drainage conditions, installing new sod, and rebuilding planting or outdoor-use areas. The construction sequence is designed around how the property needs to function after the work is complete.

02Correct the Grade
03Prepare the Soil

Why the Existing Backyard Is Underused
Remove the Conditions That Limit the Property
A yard may have enough square footage but still provide little usable space. Low branches, crowded trees, exposed roots, uneven soil, drainage pockets, thin grass, disconnected beds, or poorly placed landscape features can divide the area and restrict circulation.
Trees or Roots Control the Layout
Selected tree removal, pruning, stump work, or redesigned planting zones may be required before grade and lawn construction can proceed.
Low Areas Hold Water
Regrading may improve surface flow, while concentrated or subsurface water can require inlets, pipe, or another drainage component.
The Lawn Is Thin or Uneven
Failed turf may indicate shade, compacted soil, poor irrigation coverage, unsuitable grade, root competition, or drainage problems.
The Yard Lacks Defined Use Areas
New lawn, planting, borders, walkways, drainage, or other landscape construction can organize the property after elevations are established.
Renovation Scope
Build the New Backyard in the Correct Order
Grading and Water Control
Establish finished elevations, correct high and low areas, maintain foundation clearance, and install included drainage before the new surface.
Soil and Irrigation Preparation
Place suitable soil where required, complete detailed grading, locate irrigation components, and adjust coverage for the final layout.
Sod and Landscape Construction
Install the selected sod, planting areas, borders, or other approved improvements at final grade, then complete cleanup and watering review.
Completed PLS Construction
From Existing Conditions to Finished Use
Tree and Landscape Planning
Remove Conflicts and Rebuild the Planting Structure
Tree work should support the final plan. Shade, roots, canopy clearance, stump locations, drainage, and future planting space are considered before grading or sod placement.
Active Grade Correction
Shape the Ground for the New Use
Equipment grading removes unsuitable material, corrects elevations, and prepares larger areas. Detailed hand grading completes transitions near structures, borders, drains, and fixed surfaces.
New Lawn Construction
Install Sod Only After the Site Is Ready
Sod placement follows drainage, elevation, soil, and irrigation preparation. Grass selection considers sunlight, shade, water coverage, traffic, and the final use of the yard.
Complete Landscape Construction
Organize Lawn, Beds, Trees and Circulation
The finished property can combine open lawn, structured planting, defined borders, irrigation, drainage, and access routes without allowing one component to interfere with another.
Site Evaluation Priorities
Determine What Must Change and What Should Remain
Not every tree, bed, or existing surface needs removal. A useful renovation identifies the features that interfere with grade, drainage, sunlight, circulation, or the planned lawn while protecting healthy and functional elements that support the final design.
Sun and ShadeTree canopy affects grass selection and planting performance.
Grade and FlowFinished elevations must move water without raising soil at the home.
Irrigation CoverageZones and heads should support the new lawn and planting boundaries.
Use and AccessOpen lawn and circulation should match how the family uses the yard.

Spring Backyard Renovation FAQ
Questions Before Construction
Should tree work be completed before grading and sod?
Yes, when trees, limbs, stumps, or roots interfere with the planned work. Completing tree work first prevents heavy operations from disturbing new grade or sod.
Does every backyard renovation require major grading?
No. Every lawn needs detailed surface preparation, but major grading is required only when elevations, low areas, drainage, unsuitable soil, or transitions need substantial correction.
Should drainage work be completed before the new lawn?
Yes. Drainpipe, inlets, downspout routes, subsurface collection, and major grade correction should be completed before soil preparation and sod placement.
Which sod works best after tree removal?
Grass selection depends on the remaining sunlight, irrigation, soil drainage, traffic, and appearance preference. Removing one tree does not automatically make every grass type suitable for the area.
Can irrigation be adjusted for the new backyard layout?
Yes, when included in the proposal. Heads may need to be raised, lowered, relocated, replaced, or fitted with different nozzles after the final lawn and planting boundaries are established.
Do you provide free backyard consultations in Spring?
Yes. Request an on-site consultation so we can inspect access, trees, roots, elevations, drainage, soil, irrigation, and the intended use of the renovated yard.
