Residential Grading




Residential Grading: Protecting Your Home From the Ground Up
Residential grading is one of the most important — and most overlooked — parts of protecting a home. Proper grading controls how water moves across your property and directs it safely away from your foundation, crawl space, basement, driveway, and landscaping. Without the correct slope and drainage, water can collect near the home and slowly create expensive structural and drainage problems over time.
