Actual Patterson job
What this covers
- Rough and finish grading
- Topsoil spreading
- Lawn seeding
- Lawn rolling
- Yard repair after construction or utility work
- Regrading around foundations so water runs away from the house
Grading that solves the problem, not hides it
A lawn that holds water, humps up over old utility lines, or slopes toward the house is a dirt problem before it is a grass problem. We cut the high spots, fill the low ones, and set the pitch so water moves away from the foundation and off the lawn instead of sitting in it. Topsoil gets spread where it belongs, not just where it is easy.
Seeding and rolling, done in the right order
Seed thrown on hard, rutted ground washes out with the first storm. We work the soil so it can actually take seed, spread it evenly, then roll it so the seed keys into the dirt and germinates as one even stand instead of stripes and bare patches. Rolling also takes out the soft spots that would become ankle-turning dips by fall.
New construction and post-project yards
After a new build, a septic repair, a pool dig, or a buried line, somebody has to make the yard look like nothing happened. That is the call we get most. Builders leave rough grade; we deliver finish grade and a growing lawn.
Fixing old, tired lawns
Some yards were never graded right to begin with. If you have mowed around the same washboard bumps and soggy holes for years, a regrade and reseed is usually cheaper than people expect, and it fixes the problem for good instead of one topdressing at a time.
