Proper yard grading involves a systematic process that begins with an assessment of current slopes and drainage patterns. Heavy machinery reshapes the soil to achieve the desired slope, ensuring effective water runoff. The work duration varies based on yard size and complexity, typically taking a few hours for smaller residential properties and longer for larger commercial sites. Equipment such as skid steers and graders are commonly used to deliver precise results. After grading, proper compaction and finishing ensure stability and optimal drainage.
