Grading and Drainage
At ECL Design, we believe that grading is the foundation of every successful landscape. A well-executed grade not only shapes the aesthetics of your outdoor space but protects your property by ensuring proper water flow and drainage.
Our team includes skilled professionals with the experience and equipment to deliver precise, reliable grading services for both new construction and existing homes.
For new builds, we can:
Follow detailed surveyor’s plans
Grade to meet city inspection standards
Design and construct architectural swales or berms for both function and form
For existing properties, we specialize in:
Correcting negative grading issues (where water drains toward the home)
Repairing low spots that cause pooling or erosion
Offering a sump pump alternative in areas where proper regrading is not feasible
Whether you're laying the groundwork for a new home or solving persistent drainage issues, ECL Design ensures the job is done right—from the ground up.
