Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions About Grading & Finishing
What is finish grading?+
Finish grading is the final shaping of soil to achieve proper drainage slopes, level areas for construction, and smooth surfaces for turf or landscaping. It follows rough grading and precedes any surface installation.
Why is proper grading important?+
Proper grading ensures water flows away from structures, prevents pooling, creates level surfaces for patios and courts, and establishes the foundation for healthy turf and plant growth.
Can you fix existing grading problems?+
Yes. We correct grading issues that cause water to flow toward homes, create low spots that collect water, or result in uneven surfaces. Regrading can often solve drainage problems without installing pipe systems.
How precise does grading need to be?+
For sport courts and pool decks, we grade to within 1/8 inch tolerance. For turf areas, 1/4 inch per foot slope is standard. For general landscaping, 1-2% slope away from structures ensures proper drainage.
