How Much Does It Cost to Grade Around a House?

Grading around your house is necessary to manage water flow, prevent damage to your foundation, and prepare the land for landscaping. When there's no grading, water can pool around your home, and that, in return, could lead to damage in the foundation, grow mold, and erode the soil.

What Affects the Cost of Grading?

The cost of grading differs based on various factors:

The size of the area: Grading larger areas tends to be more expensive.

Slope: The steeper the land, the more effort and equipment will be required.

Soil condition: If the soil is rocky or compacted, the price will increase.

Accessibility: In tight spaces, special equipment may be required.

On top of that, special services like drainage solutions or adding soil will add to the total.

Average Cost

Grading costs usually range from $1,000 and $5,000 depending on the features of the project and its size. Smaller jobs can start around $500 while projects of larger size or complexity may exceed $10,000. Work is generally figured at between $5 and $10 per square foot.

Ways to Save on Grading

Plan Ahead: Bundle grading with other services to reduce labor costs.

Hire Professionals: Avoid possible mistakes and wastages; their work would be carried out with proper quality and attention to detail.
