Grading and Lot Preparation
Grading and Lot Preparation in Brevard County
The best sod in the world will not last on bumpy, badly drained ground. We are able to provide grading services for your lot if needed, so your new lawn starts on a level base.
How we do it
Grading moves soil so rain runs away from the house and nothing pools in the yard. It also takes out the dips and ruts left behind by construction, irrigation work or old lawns.
Once the ground is right, the sod goes down flat, the mower rides smoothly and the roots grow evenly across the whole yard.
What is included
- Leveling dips, ruts and high spots
- Slope so water drains away from the house
- Clearing old turf, debris and weeds
- Final grade for new construction lots
- Ready-to-sod soil, the same day or right before install
