Grading
Proper grading is an essential yet frequently overlooked component of landscaping projects. Grading involves leveling and shaping the land's surface, which ensures functional and aesthetic success for any outdoor space. Beyond general landscaping, grading is necessary when installing outdoor features or shade structures in yards and landscapes. Precise grading establishes proper drainage patterns, preventing water accumulation and potential damage to structures.
Grading prepares the land for elements like patios, decks, walkways, and planting beds, ensuring they are level, safe, and integrated seamlessly into the landscape. At Ken Steenstra Landscaping Inc., we understand the importance of grading and offer reliable and professional solutions to residential and commercial clients in and around Midland Park, NJ.
