Grading
Definition
The process of evening out the ground's surface, making it either flat or sloped.Things you need to know
Grading should always flow downward away from the house to prevent water from collecting near the foundation. Grading also needs to be done before construction work such as pouring a foundation.
Also known as
Leveling
Cost Considerations
Grading the land to slope away from the house is important to prevent water from pooling around the foundation, which would lead to costly repairs. Grading costs about $2.35 per sq. yd.
Costs vary greatly by region (and even by zip code). To get free estimates from local contractors, please indicate yours.
