Can grading stop my drive washing out?

Usually. Reshaping the surface and giving runoff a route off the drive is what makes new gravel last.

Do you bring in dirt and gravel?

Yes, both are hauled as part of the work.

Will grading fix standing water in the yard?

In most cases — it is normally a low spot or the wrong fall, both of which grading addresses.

Can you cut a pad for an outbuilding?

Yes, including the drainage around it.

Grading in Dallas, GA

Grading is how ground gets shaped so water leaves and the surface is usable. In Dallas that is usually a wet low spot, a rutted drive or a pad that needs cutting.

Tony's hauls dirt and gravel, so fill comes with the job.

Long drives and runoff

A long drive on a grade collects water and turns into a channel. Reshaping the surface so it sheds water, then cutting a route for runoff to leave, is what stops the ruts from coming back every spring.

New gravel on a drive that has not been reshaped washes out again. The order matters.

Yards, pads and finish grade

Grading also covers filling low areas in a yard, setting fall away from a house, cutting pads for shops and outbuildings, and preparing the surface before sod or hydroseeding goes down.
