A beautiful yard or successful outdoor project always starts with a solid foundation—and that begins with expert excavating and grading.

Fixing Drainage Problems Before They Get Worse

Standing water in your yard? Soggy patches that never dry out? These are signs of poor grading or outdated drainage solutions. Left untreated, drainage issues can damage your lawn, landscaping, and even your home’s foundation.



At Flawless Outdoors Inc., we identify and fix common drainage problems using time-tested grading techniques and natural solutions like

  • Re-sloping away from your home
  • Building swales and shallow ditches
  • Installing French drains or dry creek beds
  • Improving soil structure and runoff flow

We don’t just move dirt—we protect your property from long-term water damage.

Grading for Sod, Hardscapes & New Construction

Proper grading is essential for everything from lush lawns to stable walkways. If the surface isn’t level and compacted, water will pool, materials will shift, and you’ll face costly repairs down the road.



We provide grading services for:

  • New sod or turf installation
  • Patios, pavers, and outdoor kitchens
  • Driveways and sidewalks
  • Retaining walls and steps
  • Residential additions and garages

We work directly with homeowners, landscapers, and builders to meet specs and exceed expectations.
