What You Need to Know About Drainage & Grading

The first thing you need to know about drainage & grading is what exactly the term “grading” refers to. Grading is a landscaping and construction industry term that refers to the slope or incline of the ground and the process used to alter the land’s natural slope to prepare it for buildings or other structures to be installed. 

The term “drainage” refers to the way water flows over the ground, which will obviously be affected by the grading. It’s important to adjust the grade of your yard to ensure that water flows away from your building, rather than toward it, as you don’t want water to pool around your foundations.

Drainage problems can lead to water seeping into your important structures and doing serious damage, so you should hire experienced drainage & grading professionals to prevent these types of issues from occurring. Our team has the right experience and training to make sure your yard drains properly, so you never have to worry about annoying puddles or the damaging effects they can cause.
