Planning Yard Grading in Rochester, NY

Snowmelt, spring rain, low areas, roof runoff, and improper grading can create recurring water problems around Rochester properties. The right solution starts with understanding how water moves across the site.

Before work begins, we review the property and project goals so the recommended approach fits the site instead of applying the same solution to every yard.

Planning Yard Grading and Surface Drainage

Yard grading aims to manage water movement across the property, so a site assessment should account for the surrounding elevations and affected areas.

• Existing water flow: identify where runoff enters, where water pools, and the paths it takes during heavy rain.
• Property constraints: consider neighboring grades, foundations, walkways, utilities, and existing landscaping.
• Finished surface: discuss lawn repair, seed or sod, and how the area should function after grading.
