Land grading, or land leveling, essentially reshapes or reforms the surface of the
land. There are various reasons homeowners would seek to have their land leveled,
including:
To build the foundation for a new home or an addition to an existing home.
To prepare land for a new lawn or hardscaping, like a patio, deck, fence, or
driveway.
To solve a drainage problem or prevent erosion.
Leveling land doesn't just make for a pleasing aesthetic. If a yard doesn't drain
properly after a rainstorm, water could seep into the foundation of the home. This
could cause major problems, such as mold, particularly if a home is located in a
flood zone.
