What it is; Why we do it

Yard regrading is the best way to prep your property for any work you plan to do or if you have water drainage issues.
When regrading a yard or property, a contractor essentially finds the highest point and measures it to the lowest point along the “rise” or the slope. Next, the contractor uses the measurements they’ve taken to find a level grade line, after which they will add topsoil to the lowest and pull from the top to create an even field.
When the surface is level and packed down adequately, you can work with the property in many ways. Moreover, drainage during wet seasons is far more manageable and less likely to cause flooding.

While regrading sounds like seeing a hill and flattening that hill while adding dirt to the lower points around it, it’s more complex than it appears.
For example, on a property with a home or foundation, there are pipes, ducts, and other things that could be nestled beneath the surface that need to be considered. If you have a nice, flat yard, what’s the point in celebrating if all of your bathroom pipes are suddenly exposed to the elements!
Instead, what your contractors will do is search for pipes, wires, or other things that could pose a problem to your regrading and ensure they won’t be in the way. These can simply be located and protected in most cases, so no equipment damages them by accident. However, sometimes they need to be moved for the regrade to succeed, which can become costly.

Other Roadblocks to Consider
Several steps go into regrading your yard, all of which are crucial to ensuring the longevity of your yard and how the job gets done.

Evaluating Future Factors
Before you start your regrading project, it’s essential to think about your yard’s health once the project’s completed.
Taking this into account, how wet does your yard get? Is erosion going to threaten the topsoil placed on the new surface? Will you need a retaining wall to keep it from falling?
Furthermore, how will you replace the landscaping once the regrade is finished? Regrading your yard will almost always result in your existing grass, and maybe even garden shrubbery, needing to be moved so the contractors can do their jobs efficiently.[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” background_image=”https://rosetehardscapes.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/shutterstock_555817909.jpeg” custom_css_main_element=”min-height:400px;” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_divider show_divider=”off” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][/et_pb_divider][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”3″ make_equal=”on” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_css_main_element=”align-items:center;” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” background_image=”https://rosetehardscapes.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/shutterstock_2071910498.jpeg” custom_css_main_element=”min-height:350px;” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_divider show_divider=”off” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][/et_pb_divider][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” background_layout=”dark” custom_margin=”30px||30px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]
Soil Quality or Damage
If your soil is loose and rich in minerals, it may be easier for your contractors to work with. Moving earth like this is much easier than moving dirt that might be full of rocks or roots from old trees.
On the other hand, if your yard has sustained damage or even damaged your home’s foundation, you may need to have these things repaired first before considering a regrading job.[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”102px||100px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”700px” module_alignment=”center” custom_padding=”||8px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” text_orientation=”center” custom_margin=”||19px|||” custom_padding=”|||0px||” global_colors_info=”{}”]
