Final Grading and Drainage Swale Creation

What happens here

The main area of the backyard is then finely graded to establish proper drainage away from the house and towards the street. This involves creating a subtle drainage swale that directs water flow. Excess clay soil is removed, and organic black dirt is brought in to form the new top layer. This meticulous grading process is crucial to prevent water pooling and ensures a stable base for the upcoming sod installation.

Goal: Create a well-drained and level backyard ready for sod.
