Grading & Ground Preparation for Sod

Discover Our Seamless Land Grading Services in Dryden, MI & The Metro Detroit Area

Grading is the process of leveling the ground to ensure proper water drainage and a smooth surface for sod installation. Here's how we do it:

1. We Remove Existing Vegetation: Our land grading expert starts by removing any existing grass, weeds, rocks, or debris from the area, using a shovel, rake, or sod cutter to clear the site thoroughly.
2. We Level the Ground: A grading rake or a landscaping rake is used to level the ground. We also fill in low spots and remove high spots to achieve a uniform surface. We even give special attention to any areas where water may pool or drain poorly.
3. We Compact the Soil: Once the ground is leveled, we use a lawn roller or hand tamp to compact the soil lightly. This helps create a stable base for the sod and prevents settling later on.

By following these steps for grading and ground preparation, our grading expert sets the stage for a successful sod installation and a vibrant, healthy lawn for your property. Remember to follow with our high-quality sod sourced from reputable suppliers.
