Land Grading
land grading for your next project
You don’t have to live in the Newark area very long before you start noticing just how much the land rolls and shifts, and how quickly a low spot in your yard can turn into a pond after a good rain. We deal with clay-heavy soil all across Licking County, and that stuff doesn’t drain the way you’d hope. L
eft unaddressed, poor grading leads to water sitting up against your foundation, erosion tearing up your lawn, and eventually some pretty expensive repairs that nobody wants to deal with. At Grace Landscapes, we’ve graded properties all over this area, from the hillier terrain out near Granville to the flatter ground around Heath and Pataskala. We know how the land behaves here.
When you hire us, you’re not getting a crew guessing at angles and slopes. You’re getting people who know this ground and will make sure the water goes where it’s supposed to go, away from your home and off your property.

Frequently Asked Questions About Land Grading
Simply put, grading is reshaping the ground so water flows in the right direction and your surface is level and stable. Around here, with our clay soils and all the elevation changes we deal with, it’s not optional if you’re building something or trying to fix a drainage problem. Skip it, and you’ll likely be calling someone to fix foundation issues or flooding down the road, and that’s a much bigger bill.
If you’re seeing water pool up near your house after it rains, you’ve got soggy spots in the yard that seem to stay wet forever, or you’re noticing erosion washing things around, those are all signs. These are really common issues in the Newark area, and they’re not going to fix themselves. Give us a call, and we’ll come take a look at no charge.
Absolutely. We work around trees, gardens, driveways, and existing buildings all the time. The equipment we use lets us be precise about what we’re touching and what we’re leaving alone. We’ll talk through all of that with you before we ever break ground.
