What this service includes

Get your yard working properly before anything else.

Property grading is one of the most important — and most overlooked — parts of landscaping. Without proper grading, water can pool around your home, damage your foundation, and cause long-term issues with your lawn and outdoor spaces.

At Major Landscaping, we ensure your yard is shaped correctly from the start so everything that follows — sod, interlock, gardens — performs properly and lasts longer.

  • Correcting drainage issues and water pooling
  • Leveling uneven or sloped yards
  • Preparing base for sod, patios, or landscaping
  • Improving water flow away from your home
  • Creating clean, usable outdoor space
Common questions

What homeowners usually ask

Do I need grading before installing sod or interlock?

Yes. Proper grading ensures a stable base and prevents future drainage issues.

Can grading fix water pooling near my house?

In many cases, yes. Correct grading helps direct water away from your foundation.

Is grading a standalone service?

It can be, but it’s often done alongside sod installation, retaining walls, or other landscaping work.

We had water pooling near the house for years. After grading, the problem was completely gone.
