Yard and driveway grading in Westerlo, NY
Tarbox Land Services grades and levels ground for yards, driveways, turnarounds and parking areas. Good grading gives a surface an even finish and the right slope, so water runs off instead of sitting on it.
What does a yard regrade involve?
In Delmar, a back yard had a large mound where three big maple trees once stood. The customer wanted the mound gone and the yard regraded, so we hauled off about 30 tons of dirt, brought in topsoil and graded everything off. The before and after below shows the yard with the mound, then the same view after it was regraded. The new topsoil was then seeded and covered with straw.
Why does grading matter for a driveway?
Grade decides where water goes. A driveway that’s shaped and sloped properly drains, stays firmer and holds up longer. One that’s flat, uneven or dished holds water, and that’s where ruts, potholes and soft spots start.

When you might need grading
A yard with a mound or low spots you want leveled
A driveway or turnaround that holds water
Uneven, rutted or washboarded gravel
A new parking or turnaround area
Ground that needs leveling before new stone or topsoil goes down
