Reliable Grading & Regrading That Lasts
We shape your yard for proper drainage, a smoother surface, and fewer water problems around your home.
Grading & Regrading
At Hercs Works, we provide grading and regrading services that help protect your property, improve drainage, and create a smoother, more usable outdoor space. If water is pooling near your foundation, your yard feels uneven, or your landscape is holding too much runoff after rain, proper grading can solve the problem at the source.
Grading is the process of shaping the ground to create the right slope and elevation. Regrading means correcting an existing yard, lawn, or landscape area that was not draining well or has shifted over time. Our goal is simple: move water away from your home, improve the lay of the land, and prepare the area for healthy grass, planting beds, patios, walkways, or other outdoor improvements.
We start by looking at the current slope, low spots, drainage patterns, and soil conditions. From there, we create a plan to reshape the area for better surface drainage while keeping the finished yard practical and attractive. Depending on the project, our grading and regrading work may include:
- Correcting negative grading around the house
- Filling low areas where water collects
- Smoothing out rough or uneven ground
- Reshaping soil for improved runoff control
- Preparing sites for sod, seed, mulch, or landscaping
- Establishing a base for patios, pathways, or other hardscape features
- Addressing erosion-prone areas with better slope management
Good grading does more than make a yard look better. It helps reduce standing water, soggy lawn conditions, erosion, muddy areas, and moisture issues near the foundation. It can also improve the long-term performance of landscaping and outdoor living projects by giving them a more stable base.
As a husband-and-wife team, we take pride in doing careful, honest work and treating each property like it matters—because it does. We believe in clear communication, solid prep work, and results that make a real difference you can see after the next rainfall.
If your property has drainage issues, uneven areas, or grading problems that need attention, Hercs Works is ready to help. Contact us to talk about your grading and regrading project and let us help you create a safer, cleaner, and better-functioning yard.

Our Grading & Regrading Process
We keep grading projects simple, clear, and built around lasting drainage, soil stability, and a smooth customer experience from start to finish.
On-Site Evaluation & Drainage Plan
We start with a site visit to inspect slope, drainage patterns, low spots, erosion, and runoff near your home, patio, or yard. Then we explain the grading issues in plain language and build a practical plan with a clear timeline, scope, and estimate.
Precision Grading & Site Correction
Once approved, we schedule the work, protect surrounding areas, and reshape the grade to move water away from structures and problem spots. We cut high areas, fill low sections, and fine-tune the surface for proper drainage, stability, and a clean finish.
Final Check & Customer Walkthrough
Before we wrap up, we review elevations, surface flow, and finish quality to make sure the regrading work performs the way it should. We walk the site with you, answer questions, and make sure you feel confident before we consider the job complete.
