Are you starting a major project at your home or business that involves moving land and reshaping it? You may need a grading service. A grading service is a company that uses large-scale machinery to shift and move soil. They can reshape landscapes and regrade property. The price of the grading service depends on what exactly you need. The cost for your project could vary based on what specifically you need. Below are a few reasons why you might need a grading service.

Landscaping Projects

Are you remodeling your yard to improve your home's exterior appearance? The price may vary. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, fine grading, soil treatment, and stabilization cost $4 to $6 per square yard. That price could change based on the shape of your yard. It's possible that your yard's slope isn't what you need to accomplish your vision. For example, maybe you're putting in elevated flower beds and need a slight incline. Maybe you're putting in a pool and need the ground to be more level. Whatever your landscaping goals are, a grading service can help you get the landscape you need to make your vision a reality.

Drainage Issues

One of the biggest reasons to hire a grading service is because of drainage issues around your home. It's possible that the landscape has shifted over time and that water is no longer draining away from your home. This can pose a risk to your home's foundation and concrete elements like a patio or driveway. A grading service can resolve the issue by adding a slight incline in your yard which helps water flow away from the house.

Topsoil Installation

Do you have trouble growing grass, flowers, or other plants in your yard? It's possible that the top-level of dirt just isn't conducive to plant growth. One way to resolve that problem is to have your yard leveled and then graded with a fresh layer of topsoil. You can then seed new grass, flowers, and more to get good growth. This is a common step after a landscape reshaping or pool installation.
