All grading plans are customized to your property and project goals.

Most small residential grading projects can be completed within a few hours to one day. Larger properties or areas with drainage issues, poor soil, or heavy slope variations may take 1–3 days.

This prevents flooding, soil erosion, and lawn damage, which matters on the flat lake plain here, where Toledo series clay soils can hold a high water table from November through May.
