Water Should Run Away From Your House
In Winnipeg clay, a yard that slopes the wrong way sends water straight to the foundation. The result is wet basements, settling, cracked walks and soggy lawns that never dry out.
Property grading fixes the slope. We bring in fill where the ground has settled, shape the yard so water flows away from the house and toward a safe outlet, and add swales or drain lines where grading alone is not enough. We grade new builds, older yards and commercial lots.
Signs you need regrading
- Water pooling against the foundation
- Settled soil around the house or under steps
- Damp basement walls after rain
- Low spots in the yard that stay wet for days

Frequently Asked Questions
How much slope does my yard need?
The ground should fall away from the foundation for the first several feet. We check the existing grades and shape the yard so water has a clear path away.
Do you supply the fill and topsoil?
Yes. We supply, haul and place fill and topsoil as part of the job.
Can you fix grading in a fenced backyard?
Usually yes. We use compact equipment that fits through most gates.
Do you lay the sod?
We prepare the topsoil so it is ready for sod or seed. Many homeowners lay the sod themselves or hire a landscaper for that step.
