Improve Water Flow and Protect Your Property with Professional Regrading

At Pro Landscapes MD, we specialize in regrading, the process of reshaping your landscape to ensure proper water drainage. Whether you’re experiencing standing water in your yard, erosion, or water damage near your foundation, regrading can provide a long-term solution. By adjusting the slope and contour of your property, we ensure water flows away from your home and landscape, protecting your property from water-related damage and promoting a healthy, functional outdoor environment.

What is Regrading?

Regrading involves altering the slope and elevation of your yard to improve drainage and water flow. It is often necessary when the natural slope of a property directs water toward your home, driveway, or garden, leading to issues such as flooding, erosion, or foundation damage. Regrading helps redirect water to safer areas or toward a drainage system, preventing these problems and preserving the integrity of your landscape.

Benefits of Regrading:

• Prevents Water Pooling: Regrading eliminates low spots where water tends to collect, reducing the risk of flooding and standing water.
• Foundation Protection: By ensuring water flows away from your home’s foundation, regrading prevents costly structural damage and cracks caused by water seepage.
• Erosion Control: Regrading stabilizes the soil, preventing erosion and preserving the health of your landscape.
• Enhanced Lawn & Garden Health: Proper drainage ensures that your lawn, plants, and trees receive adequate water without becoming waterlogged, promoting healthier growth.

How Regrading Works

Regrading involves carefully reshaping the ground’s surface to create a slope that directs water away from your home or problem areas. The process typically includes the removal of excess soil from higher areas and filling in lower areas to create a gentle, even slope. The goal is to ensure water moves away from your home, driveway, and other critical areas to prevent flooding, erosion, and damage.

Our Regrading Services

At Pro Landscapes MD, we offer complete regrading services for residential and commercial properties. Whether you need to regrade a small area of your yard or require a comprehensive landscape reshaping, our team has the expertise to get the job done efficiently and effectively.

1. Site Assessment & Grading Plan

Before starting any regrading project, we perform a detailed site assessment to understand your property’s current drainage issues and landscape contours. Based on this assessment, we create a custom grading plan that outlines the necessary slope adjustments to solve your water drainage problems.

Our Site Assessment Services Include:

• Identifying Low Spots: We locate areas of your yard where water is pooling or causing erosion.
• Soil Analysis: We assess the soil composition to ensure proper drainage and avoid future water issues.
• Foundation Check: We inspect the area around your home’s foundation to ensure water is not causing damage or pooling near the structure.

2. Landscape Regrading

Once the grading plan is in place, our team will carefully remove or add soil as needed to create the desired slope. We ensure that the new grading allows water to flow away from your home and property, reducing the risk of flooding and erosion.

Our Regrading Services Include:

• Soil Redistribution: Moving soil to reshape the landscape, fill in low spots, and create a natural slope that directs water away from problem areas.
• Sod Replacement: After regrading, we can install new sod or turf to restore your lawn, ensuring your landscape looks pristine after the project is complete.
• Foundation Protection: We ensure that the new grading directs water away from your home’s foundation, reducing the risk of damage and seepage.

3. Erosion Control

Regrading is also an effective solution for preventing soil erosion, which can occur when water flows too quickly over sloped areas. By reshaping the land, we slow water flow and prevent soil from being washed away.

Our Erosion Control Services Include:

• Slowing Water Runoff: We create a gentle slope to slow down water flow, reducing the risk of erosion in sloped areas of your property.
• Stabilizing Soil: After regrading, we can add erosion control measures such as planting vegetation or installing retaining walls to stabilize the soil.
