Grading for New Sod
The surface is shaped, hand-raked, and prepared to receive new topsoil and sod without recreating low spots.
Houston Yard Grading & Leveling
Correct the Grade. Control the Water. Rebuild the Yard.
We correct uneven yards, recurring low spots, poor slopes, and unstable soil using controlled excavation, laser-guided elevations, soil placement, compaction, and finish grading.

The Purpose of Residential Grading
Grading Controls How the Property Performs.
The objective is not simply to move dirt. The objective is to establish usable elevations, positive water movement, and a stable surface for the finished project.
Elevation
Correct High and Low Areas
High areas are cut and low areas are filled to create a consistent, intentional surface without abrupt depressions or unstable soil.
Water Movement
Establish Positive Surface Flow
The finished surface is shaped to move runoff away from structures and toward an appropriate swale, drain, street, or discharge point.
Project Readiness
Prepare for the Final Installation
Grading creates the required starting surface for sod, irrigation, drainage, concrete, pavers, gravel, or landscape construction.
Existing Condition → Corrected Surface
The Difference Is in the Elevations.
A grading plan changes the physical relationship between high areas, low areas, the foundation, and the intended runoff path.
Before Grading
×
Existing Yard Condition
01
High areas block the intended runoff path.
02
Low spots hold water and remain muddy after rainfall.
03
Uneven terrain reduces usable outdoor space.
04
The area is not ready for sod or construction.

After Grading
✓
Corrected Yard Surface
01
High areas are cut to reopen the runoff path.
02
Low areas are filled and blended into the surrounding grade.
03
The finished surface follows a controlled slope.
04
The property is prepared for final restoration.
Residential Grading Applications
One Site. Different Finished Uses.
Grading specifications change depending on what will be installed after the earthwork is completed.
Grading for Drainage
Surface elevations are coordinated with catch basins, swales, downspouts, solid PVC, and the intended discharge point.
Grading for Concrete or Hardscape
The subgrade is excavated and shaped to accommodate the required base, reinforcement, surface elevation, and drainage slope.
Whole-Yard Elevation Correction
Larger areas are reshaped using skid-steer equipment, controlled soil placement, compaction, and detailed hand grading.
