Putting the Slope Back Where It Belongs

When Highlands Ranch homes were built, lots were graded so water ran away from foundations and along planned drainage paths. Decades later, soil has settled, landscaping has been added, and that original slope may be gone. Regrading restores it. By moving and compacting soil, we reshape the ground so water flows away from the house and toward safe outlets instead of sitting in low spots or running back toward the foundation. We grade carefully around existing features, protecting trees, utilities, and hardscape while giving your yard a better shape for drainage and use.

What Regrading Costs

Grading and regrading is priced by the area, amount of soil moved, access, and how much finish work follows. Regrading a strip along a foundation costs far less than reshaping a whole backyard. Highlands Ranch homeowners get a breakdown of soil, labor, and restoration before we start.

Positive Slope Near the House

A common guideline is soil that drops several inches over the first ten feet away from the foundation. Even small improvements in slope can make a big difference in where water goes.

Soil Choices for Grading

We use screened fill for shaping and a layer of topsoil where lawn or plants will grow. Clean, compactable material holds its shape, while the topsoil on top gives roots something better than packed subsoil to grow into.

Grading in the Water Plan

Regrading often goes with surface drainage work and erosion control on new slopes. See more on our Highlands Ranch irrigation, drainage, and grading services.

Grading and Regrading FAQs

Honest answers about reshaping their yard, minus the jargon.
How close should soil be to my siding?
Most siding and stucco needs several inches of clearance above soil or mulch. Soil piled too high can trap moisture, invite pests, and damage the wall. We regrade to restore that clearance.
Yes. Soil under decks often slopes toward the house or collects water. We reshape it so water drains away, sometimes adding rock or fabric to keep weeds down. Stored items under the deck stay drier.
We can. Stump grinding leaves a pile of chips and a soft spot that settles over time. We remove chips, fill with soil, compact it, and reshape the area for lawn or planting.
Major grading changes often do, especially if they affect drainage or the look of the yard. Small corrections near the house may not. We check guidelines and prepare plans if review is needed.
We compact soil, finish with sod, seed with erosion blanket, or planting and mulch. On slopes, we may add wattles or rock to protect the new grade until roots take hold.
Yes. Pads often sink or end up in low spots. We regrade around them so water drains away, keep clearances for service, and avoid burying equipment or meters. Your HVAC tech will appreciate the access.
Often. We shape the ground along the driveway edge so water spreads into a planted area or swale instead of rushing into low spots or toward the house. Plants along the edge get a free drink.
