"Jonathan was very responsive when i called him and came out for a quote and even called me back in a few weeks which was ahead of schedule which was great. Unfortunatley they drove on my lawn and ruined various sections of my grass which i had to repair and fill in. They were also supposed to edge all the beds but they only did a few of them. They also quoted me a price but when i finally got the invoice it was quite a bit higher than what was quoted."

Spring is the sweet spot for yard leveling. The soil has enough moisture to shape easily but is still firm enough to stay put once you finish grading. Tackle the project before summer downpours arrive, and you’ll improve drainage, reduce erosion, and give new grass time to take root. Leveling in early spring also helps pros schedule follow-up landscaping before the busy season hits.
For an average-size yard, it takes five to six days to level a yard. That window covers site prep, precision grading, and the final touch-ups that lock the soil in place. A tiny patch might wrap up in a single day, while a sprawling or steep property can stretch the schedule to a full week. Building in a little extra time keeps the project on track if weather or equipment delays pop up.
Keep the soil at least 4 inches below the top of the foundation and 4 inches beneath the bottom edge of the siding. That simple gap sends water away from the house, blocks moisture intrusion, and closes off entry points for pests. Maintaining the clearance is an easy way to protect the foundation, encourage proper drainage, and dodge costly repairs down the road.
Grading tilts the ground so water flows away from your foundation, while leveling smooths out bumps so you can mow, entertain, or add hardscaping with ease. Most projects need a mix of both—grade first for drainage, then fine‑tune the surface for a neat, user‑friendly lawn. Combining the two protects the house and boosts curb appeal in one pass.
Leveling your yard enhances both functionality and beauty by creating a uniformly flat and accessible space. This process eliminates uneven surfaces that hinder maintenance and outdoor activity while improving drainage and reducing water pooling. A leveled yard also serves as a robust foundation for additional features such as patios and playsets, ultimately increasing the overall appeal and value of your property.
