We have answers to the most popular questions from our customers. If you can't find an answer to your question, please contact us.

Can I regrade my yard myself?

If you are working with only a few inches and a small yard, regrading can be done by hand using tools such as rakes. But if you see the job becoming more than you can handle, landscaping equipment can often be rented or bought from a local home improvement store, or you can rent online from Toro.com.

How much does it cost to have your yard regraded?

The national average cost to level or regrade a lawn runs around $2,180, with an average range of $1,000 to $3,330. Large projects such as those that require French drains or a retaining wall can docHub into the $10,000 range or higher.

Do I need a permit to regrade my yard?

In general, any time you disturb 2500 square feet of soil or change the grade more than 24 inches (either taking away or adding), you must apply for a permit. The precise rules may vary based on your county or state, but this is a basic rule of thumb.

What is a grading permit in California?

A Grading Permit provides formal permission to perform grading in accordance with the accepted documents (plans, specifications, calculations, etc.). The City provides grading plan check services as part of the grading permit process.

Can I regrade my yard without a permit?

As long as you arent grading (and altering runoff) or adding impervious surfaces (increasing runoff), you probably wont need a permit and dont really need to ask.
