Property grading

Get the water going the right way.

When a yard is graded wrong, water pools on the lawn, runs toward the house and turns low spots into mud. We regrade properties so water moves away from your home and the yard is level enough to use.

Grading is also the first step for new sod, seed, patios, walkways and pools. Getting the grade right underneath is what keeps everything on top looking good for years.

Lawn Brothers Landscaping grades and levels properties for homeowners across Nassau and Suffolk County, with the equipment to do it efficiently.
