Questions ## 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. ### Will it work on a flat lot? Flat lots need careful shaping and sometimes a piped outlet. We measure fall before promising anything. ### How long does it take? Most drainage regrading jobs are completed in one to three days.
