Land & Yard Grading Services

Is your yard a bumpy, uneven mess that’s hard to mow? Do you have low spots where water collects every time it rains? Proper grading is the solution. Jefferson Land Clearing & Excavation expertly reshapes your land to fix drainage problems and give you the smooth, beautiful yard you’ve always wanted.

Land & Yard Grading in Jefferson, Hamblen, & Grainger Counties

Yard grading is one of the most important things you can do for your property, but it’s often overlooked. It’s the process of moving dirt to change the slope, or “grade,” of your land. A yard that slopes toward your house is a major problem waiting to happen, channeling water directly to your foundation and causing leaks and cracks.

At Jefferson Land Clearing & Excavation, we are masters of moving earth. We use precision equipment to carefully reshape your yard. We can eliminate bumps and holes, fix dangerous slopes, and create a smooth, gently graded surface that not only looks great but also protects your home from water damage.

Solve Drainage and Usability Problems for Good

A properly graded yard is about more than just looks; it’s about protecting your biggest investment and making your property more enjoyable. We can solve a wide range of common land issues.

Our land and yard grading services are perfect for:

  • Fixing Drainage Issues: This is the #1 reason for grading. We re-slope your yard to guarantee that rainwater flows away from your home, not towards it.
  • Leveling for a Smooth Lawn: We smooth out all the lumps, bumps, and low spots to give you a flat, easy-to-mow yard that’s perfect for kids and pets to play on.
  • Preparing for New Projects: We create perfectly level and compacted pads for new sheds, patios, swimming pools, and home additions.
  • Final Grading for New Lawns: After construction, we can do the “final grade,” which involves spreading a fresh layer of topsoil to prepare for seeding or sod.
  • Repairing Damaged Yards: If heavy equipment from a recent project has torn up your yard, we can come in and restore it to a smooth, beautiful finish.

Stop putting up with a messy, problematic yard. Let us create a safe and beautiful landscape for your home. To get a free estimate, call us today at (865) 805-0543.

Frequently Asked Questions About Land Grading

Leveling means making an area perfectly flat, which is great for a shed or patio base. Grading is more complex; it means creating a specific, gentle slope across your property to make sure water drains properly and flows away from your house.
The slope is critical for protecting your home. If your yard slopes towards your foundation, rainwater will pool against it, which can cause leaks, water damage in your basement or crawlspace, and even lead to serious foundation cracks over time.
Yes. This is exactly what we do. We use our equipment to scrape down the high spots and move that excess dirt to fill in the low spots and holes. The end result is a smooth, even surface.
Sometimes. If you have large low spots, you may not have enough existing dirt to fill them, and we can bring in extra “fill dirt.” If you’re planning to plant a new lawn, we highly recommend bringing in a layer of nutrient-rich topsoil for the final grade to get the best results.
Absolutely. This is one of the most important drainage problems we solve. We can bring in dirt to build up the area around your foundation and reshape your yard to create a “positive grade” that forces water to flow safely away from your home.
