Learn How Land Grading Can Save You Money

Learn How Land Grading Can Save You Money
Land grading is necessary for most Houston landscaping designs. Exterior Worlds does more than simply beautify yards. We create outdoor living environments that require the construction of impeccable drainage systems to preserve the integrity of landscape forms during periods of heavy rain. Sloped areas must be created around each major element so that water will run into concealed drains that hide from open view. Slopes must be carefully angled enough to perform their intended function and still remain undetected to the eye.

Prior to actually changing the grade of the landscape, contractors clear the yard of debris. Rocks and tree stumps must be removed. Large chunks of clay rich earth must also be broken up to create looser soil that we can amend appropriately for different purposes. Areas that will ultimately support patios may require a perfectly level surface. Driveways and some walkways may require calculated slopes to manage runoff water during times of heavy downpour. All of this must be attended to prior to the construction of Houston landscaping elements.
