Proper grading is essential for managing water runoff. We slope surfaces away from structures to prevent water pooling and erosion issues.

Why Proper Grading Matters

Many property owners skip or rush through site preparation—only to face costly problems later. Don’t let poor grading lead to:


  • Standing water and erosion

  • Foundation cracking or settling

  • Uneven hardscapes or sunken patios

  • Muddy, unusable landscaping

  • Rejected permit inspections

At Paul’s Tree Service LLC, we make sure the ground beneath your project is solid, stable, and up to spec.
