Mom intended for you to build your life upon a solid foundation…with good grades. Foundation. Grades. Mom. New home construction. Different contexts. Same message.
Land grading is the structuring of the land surface on which your new home will be built. Land grading for a buildable residential lot is applicable to that lot’s slope. For your new home build, it is important to ensure that a proper slope is added to the surface of your residential lot. In order to attain your sought after “grade.”
An ideal slope for your new home build is one where the land surface located on the outer perimeter of your home’s foundation descends away from the home’s footprint. This descent is important because land grading will ultimately determine where rainwater – as well as where runoff water from your roof – will flow to once the construction of your home is complete.
