Grading changes the shape and level of the ground, which can influence where water moves. On Georgia properties with red clay, describe visible runoff and wet areas rather than assuming grading alone will solve them.
Observe water movement
After rain, note where water gathers and which direction it travels. Observe from a safe area and avoid walking through moving water or unstable ground.
Pictures of the same area in dry and wet conditions may help explain a concern. They do not establish soil composition or the cause of a drainage issue.
Connect the ground to its intended use
A yard, access area and future building site may need different ground preparation. Tell Robert Taylor what the property will be used for before discussing grading and leveling.
For Henry or Newton County projects, identify nearby structures, paths and changes in elevation. The work should be defined in relation to the surrounding property, not just one low spot.
Ask about the actual scope
Jake’s Property Maintenance offers grading and leveling. Describe the outcome you want and ask which tasks are included in the proposal.
Do not assume a drainage design, permanent runoff solution or particular soil treatment is included. Confirm project details in a written estimate or agreement.
