"We had Phillips 360 and several other landscapers come out to talk about fixing up our horrible backyard, and we were totally impressed with Mike's upfront approach to our budget. Our yard was dirt, weeds, and rubble and was so ugly we were kind of embarrassed by it. No problem for Mike! He went over what we wanted, what our options were at different price points, and how we could do this job so that there was potential to do more for the rest of the property in the future. His approach was simple - no fancy computer sketches - but we felt that he really listened to all of our practical needs and helped us troubleshoot for how we really use the yard. We put a deposit down in the fall for a spring job, he contacted us in early spring to set up the work, and the guys showed up as soon as the yard was thawed. Communication was excellent. He and everyone on the crew were some of the friendliest, most accommodating, and hardest working guys we've ever had at our house. In the end we had a sprinkler system installed that covered the new grass and an existing garden (with room to grow in the future), beautiful sod (we couldn't seed due to our dog traffic), and river rock borders and quality edging everywhere. We forgot to include one element in the original bid, and when we called Mike about it he came by to go over the details and had an updated estimate for us within 24 hours. At every step we were amazed by the responsiveness and affordability. As we said to the work crew when they left - they did an amazing job and we just wish they also did kitchens! We are already planning to hire Phillips 360 again in the future."

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 followup landscaping before the busy season hits.
A pro crew typically needs five to six days to level an average‑size yard. Smaller spots may wrap up in a single day, while a sprawling or steep property can stretch the timeline to a full week. Those days cover everything from prep and initial grading to final touch‑ups that leave the surface stable and ready for new landscaping. Building this window into your schedule keeps the project on track and ensures long-lasting results.
Leave a four‑inch gap between finished soil and both the top of the foundation and the bottom edge of the siding. That clearance lets water run off instead of slipping inside and keeps pests from finding an easy path indoors. Sticking to this measurement protects the structure, preserves proper drainage, and helps you avoid costly repairs down the road.
Grading tilts the ground so water flows away from your foundation; 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.
