"Ian does a top contractor who is also reasonably priced. Other contractors did not offer me the customized solutions for some unique layout issues. He had clear opinions, but he actively seeks understanding what the client wants. He was always prompt, reliable, and efficient. One time, I decided to make a last minute change in the synthetic deck color. He twisted arms to get the order changed , and I saw from the Timber Tech website that the new color was more expensive. When I offered to pay the difference, he said no because the guys he used to set the foundation were faster than he had budgeted in the quote! I have done many projects, and have never gotten that response. Ian Grant, the owner, is equally competent, honest, and ethical. On top of all this, he was the lowest bidder. He will be my go to person for future construction projects. He is such a pleasure to work with I am recommending him to friends and don't think I will bother to get competitive bids. He absolutely deserves Home Advisor's top certification."

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.
