How Can I Tell If My Property Has Poor Grading?

Property grading is essential because it influences drainage, elevations, and the land’s stability. Water pools in places where it shouldn’t, and soil erodes when elevations are off because of improper grading.

​

The earlier these problems are recognized, the better off we will be in avoiding a more serious issue later on. Inadequate grading can be easily recognized by uneven terrain. Different elevations on your land may signal a grading issue.

​

A well-graded property allows water to move away from your home’s foundation and helps prevent water from pooling and leading to other problems. Proper landscape grading ensures water drains away from your house since a pool of standing water can lead to flooding, erosion, and other damage.
