Yard grading and slope repair
Yard grading and regrading, cut and fill for level ground, and slope repair that stops erosion.
The work
Christian sets the new grade, the drains and the cover for the slope together, so the next storm does not undo the work.
We regrade backyards and lawns, move dirt to make level ground, and repair slopes that are washing out. One customer had their yard graded and a driveway added so their son could get in and out of the house in his wheelchair. Another leveled a steep backyard with fill dirt and a retaining wall so the children had a place to play.
When a slope erodes, the fix is usually a mix of grading, drains or swales to slow the water, and a cover for the soil such as sod, erosion blanket or stone. Christian picks the mix after he sees the yard.

“My son is in a wheelchair, and I needed my yard graded and a driveway added, so we could get him in and out of the house easier. … They also cleaned up every day before they left.”
“We had difficult slopes and drainage concerns, but their team handled erosion control flawlessly. The new pool fits nicely, and the entire property appears more sturdy and lovely.”
“Our children required a suitable area for play, prompting us to undertake the significant task of leveling our severely sloped lot, which necessitated a considerable amount of fill dirt and the construction of a 20'x60' retaining wall. … Our children now have a safe and enjoyable backyard to play in.”
“After having trees cleared, Christian and his crew transformed our backyard using earth moving techniques and retaining walls to build several different elevations. … Drainage and erosion challenges solved along the way. … Christian re-uses as much as he can, it's not all about "new".”

Grading depends on the weather. The crew keeps soil bare for as short a time as it can and covers the finished slope at the end.
How it works
Christian comes to your home, walks the yard with you and looks at the slope, access and drainage.
He brings ideas and material samples, and he goes over the quote with you in person.
His crew does the work, cleans up at the end of each day and puts the lawn back when the job is done.
Questions
Sometimes. Often a few level areas with walls between them work better than flattening the whole yard. Christian looks at the slope, the access and the property lines first.
Slowing the water with grading, drains or swales, and covering the soil with sod, blanket or stone. The mix depends on how steep it is.
It should not. The plan keeps the water on a controlled path to a safe outlet.
