If water pools in your yard or drains toward your house, the grade is wrong. Shelby Yard regrading service reshapes the soil so every drop of rain flows away from your foundation and out of your yard.
$1,200–$6,000
Landscape grading is the process of reshaping the soil around your property to establish proper slope and drainage patterns. The goal is a consistent grade that moves water away from the foundation and toward a safe outlet.
Memphis clay soil is particularly prone to holding water. When the grade around your home is flat or sloped inward, even moderate rain can cause erosion, basement seepage, and dead patches of lawn. Proper regrading is the most cost-effective fix before problems escalate.
