Grading

Grading and finish grade in North Central Texas

Rough grade for drainage, finish grade for sod and slab — slopes that send water away from the house.

How we run this work.

Most North Central Texas drainage complaints start as a grade problem: a patio that dumps toward the foundation, a side yard that holds after a May storm, a new house sitting in a bowl. We set rough grade for the dirt work and come back for finish grade when the structure is up and you are ready for grass.

Sequence on the lot

Find the water

We watch how the lot already drains instead of fighting it with a pretty but wrong slope.

Cut to drain

Swales, gentle falls, and tie-ins to existing inlets or bar ditches.

Finish smooth

A surface a landscaper can sod without bringing a second excavator.
