Grading Services

Grading is the process of leveling or shaping the land to create a stable base for construction, landscaping, and drainage. Proper grading is essential to prevent water from pooling around your home, which can lead to foundation issues and erosion. At Keystone Built, we offer expert grading services that ensure your property is properly contoured for optimal drainage and stability. Whether you need grading for a new construction project or to resolve existing drainage problems, our team has the skills.

Site Grading

Site grading involves reshaping the land to prepare it for construction or landscaping. Our grading services are precise, ensuring that the land is level and properly sloped.

  • Rough Grading: We start with rough grading, which involves moving large amounts of soil to create the general shape of the land. This is the foundation for all subsequent construction and landscaping work.

  • Final Grading: Once rough grading is complete, we perform final grading to fine-tune the contours of the land. This step ensures that the site is perfectly level and ready for construction, paving, or landscaping.

Drainage Grading

Proper drainage is a critical aspect of grading. We design grading solutions that direct water away from your home and prevent erosion.

  • Swales and Berms: We create swales and berms to channel water away from structures and into designated drainage areas.

  • Erosion Control: Our grading services include erosion control measures such as the installation of silt fences and erosion blankets to protect your site during and after construction.

  • Foundation Grading: We grade the land around your foundation to ensure that water flows away from the building, reducing the risk of water infiltration and foundation damage.

Landscaping Grading

Grading is also an essential part of landscaping, as it creates the contours that define your outdoor space.

  • Lawn Grading: We grade lawns to create smooth, even surfaces that are easy to mow and maintain. Proper lawn grading also ensures that water drains correctly, preventing soggy spots and promoting healthy grass growth.

  • Garden Bed Grading: For garden beds, we grade the soil to create gentle slopes that improve drainage and help plants thrive.

  • Hardscaping Preparation: Before installing patios, walkways, or driveways, we perform grading to ensure that the surface is level and stable.
