Building your ideal backyard involves a lot more than choosing some plants and placing the deck in the right place. You need to make sure that the land is ready for all of it.

Rock Solid Grading & Excavating is here to talk about why land grading is such an important part of landscaping.

Benefits of Proper Land Grading

There are several ways that land grading will benefit your property and landscape design. Before you start the landscaping process, it is important to take care of any land grading needs for these reasons:
– Easier Landscape Installation: There are several key elements that might be incorporated into your landscape design. Whether you are looking to have a patio installed, walkways, pools or other landscaping elements, land grading is essential in making sure the process is streamlined and the finished product is a safe space.
– Prevent Water Damage: If the land slopes the wrong way on your property, it can lead to a lot of water damage because of poor drainage. The land needs to slope away from your home or any other structure to avoid damage to the foundation. Land grading ensuring that water won’t pool up at the foundation of any structure and negatively impact its structural integrity.
– Use Entire Landscape: It can be frustrating if the slope of your property makes it so that you can’t utilize some of it into your landscape design. Land grading can help solve this issue by making sure that every square inch of your property can be used and enjoyed. The land can be regraded and portions of it carved out that is needed to create useable acreage.
– Healthier Landscape: When you have landscaping installed on your property, you want to make sure that all the plant life that has been planted is able to thrive. This can be done when the land grading is done properly. The plants need enough water to thrive but not so much of it that they start to rot. If there is water pooling anywhere, it won’t only cause issues with your plants either. You could run into problems with pests like mosquitoes and other pests that are attracted to moisture places. When land grading is done, your landscape will be much healthier.
