How We Work

Most landscape problems—from soggy turf to cracking hardscape to foundation moisture—trace back to grade issues that weren't addressed when the landscape was first installed. Brooks Landscape handles residential grading and leveling as both a standalone service and as the first phase of any larger landscape project.

On new properties, especially those in newer subdivisions where builder grading was rough and not finished for landscaping, proper grade correction is the most important thing we can do before any planting or hardscape goes in. We establish positive drainage away from the structure, correct low spots that would otherwise pond, and create a finished grade appropriate for turf or planting.

On existing properties, we diagnose drainage problems first—where water is coming from, where it's going, and what's impeding its movement—before committing to a grading solution. Sometimes grade correction is the answer; sometimes it's a combination of grading and drainage infrastructure.

We use appropriate equipment for each site scale, from hand tools for tight residential access to compact track loaders and skid steers for more substantial grading work.

Local Water & Permit Context

Eaton is served by the Town of Eaton Water Department. We design irrigation to work efficiently within the town's water supply constraints, especially during peak summer demand periods.

Eaton building permits for residential landscape structures are issued through the Town of Eaton. We handle permit coordination for all permitted work as part of our project process.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my property has a grading problem?
Signs include water ponding in the yard after rain, soggy or dead turf in consistent low spots, water running toward the house foundation, or efflorescence on basement walls. If you're seeing any of these, it's worth having us evaluate the grade.
Does grading require permits?
Significant grading that moves more than a threshold volume of material (typically 50 cubic yards or more, but it varies by jurisdiction) may require a grading permit. We evaluate permit requirements for each project before work begins.
How much does grading cost?
Grading costs depend heavily on the volume of material to be moved, access constraints, and whether material needs to be imported or exported. We provide detailed proposals after a site assessment.
