Grading and Drainage
Proper Grading Resolves Most Drainage Problems
Much of the Madison and Jackson area sits on Yazoo clay, a soil known for swelling when wet and shrinking as it dries. Because water struggles to soak in, it stands in low spots, runs toward the wrong places, and works against anything built on top of it. Our team begins by reading how water moves across your property, then shapes the ground to carry it away. That may include regrading a yard or pad, correcting a slope, or adding a swale or ditch. If you are considering a French drain, we invite you to have us take a look first, since regrading alone may solve the problem at its source.
If any of these issues sound familiar, the shape of your ground is likely the cause.
Signs Your Property Needs Grading
If any of these issues sound familiar, the shape of your ground is likely the cause.
Lingering Standing Water
Low spots that hold water long after a rain usually indicate the ground has nowhere to send it.
Water Collecting Near Buildings
Ground should slope away from your home or shop. Otherwise, water collects exactly where you least want it.
Washouts and Soil Erosion
Moving water cuts into bare ground. Correcting the slope and redirecting the flow helps keep your soil on your property.
Uneven, Rutted Ground
Humps, dips, and old ruts make land harder to use. Grading provides a smooth, even surface for mowing or building.
