Drainage Correction Grading for Lake Norman Properties

- Neighborhood lot lines limit where corrected flow can be directed — that gets planned first.

Drainage Correction Grading FAQs
Is grading cheaper than a drain system?
Often, yes — and it requires no maintenance. We recommend it first when the site supports it.

Flat lots need careful shaping and sometimes a piped outlet. We measure fall before promising anything.

Most drainage regrading jobs are completed in one to three days.
