Grading and Regrading

Precision Grading for a Perfect Landscape

At Tommy Pollina Landscape Co., we understand that the foundation of a successful landscaping project lies in proper grading. Our grading and regrading services are designed to ensure your property is not only aesthetically pleasing but also functional and well-prepared for any construction or landscaping needs.

What Is Grading?

Grading is the process of leveling and shaping the land to create a stable base for landscaping, construction, or drainage systems. Proper grading is crucial for:

– Water Drainage: Prevent water from pooling in unwanted areas, which can lead to erosion, foundation damage, or other water-related issues.

– Foundation Preparation: Ensure a level surface for building patios, driveways, or any other hardscape elements.

– Landscape Aesthetics: Achieve a smooth and even appearance across your property, enhancing its overall beauty.

Regarding: Correcting Existing Problems

Over time, landscapes can develop issues that require regrading. Whether it’s due to settling soil, erosion, or improper initial grading, regrading helps to:

– Fix Drainage Issues: If water pools near your home or in your yard, regrading can correct these problems by adjusting the slope and directing water away from critical areas.

– Restore Landscape Health: Poor grading can lead to soil erosion and plant stress. Regrading helps restore the health of your landscape by improving water flow and soil stability.

– Prepare for Renovations: If you’re planning to renovate or add new features to your landscape, regrading ensures the ground is properly prepared, providing a stable base for any new construction.

Our Grading & Regrading Services

At Tommy Pollina Landscape Co., we offer a range of grading and regrading services tailored to meet the specific needs of your property:

Land Leveling

We provide land leveling services to create a flat, even surface, ideal for new construction projects, including lawns, gardens, and patios. This ensures that your landscape is free of dips and uneven areas that could cause problems in the future.

Slope Grading

Our slope grading services help direct water flow away from your home or building, protecting your foundation and preventing water damage. We carefully design slopes that are both functional and visually pleasing, ensuring proper drainage while enhancing the landscape.

Erosion Control

Erosion can be a significant issue, especially on sloped properties. We implement grading and regrading techniques that prevent soil erosion, preserving the integrity of your landscape and preventing future problems.

Foundation Grading

Before any construction begins, proper grading is essential. We prepare your site by ensuring the ground is level and stable, providing a solid foundation for any structure, from homes to commercial buildings.

Why Proper Grading Matters

Proper grading is not just about aesthetics; it’s about protecting your property. Poor grading can lead to water pooling, which can cause serious damage to your home’s foundation, create mud and erosion problems, and even lead to landscape failure. By investing in professional grading and regrading services, you ensure that your property is prepared for any conditions, from heavy rains to new construction projects.
