KNS Landscaping & Concrete | Certified Landscaping Services in Provo, UT

A common sign in our area is water pooling near your home's foundation after a rain or irrigation, which can be a serious risk. You might also notice areas where the soil has washed away or where grass struggles to grow due to poor drainage. If you see these issues, it's a good idea to have a professional assessment. At KNS, we can evaluate your yard's slope and recommend a grading plan to direct water safely away from your property.

Soil cracking here is often caused by our clay-heavy soil expanding when wet and contracting as it dries, a cycle that breaks apart the earth. To fix it, we don't just fill the cracks. We perform proper soil preparation, which may include tilling, adding soil amendments to improve structure, and compacting the base to create a stable, unified surface. This prevents future cracking and creates a healthy foundation for new sod, seed, or hardscaping.

Professional grading starts with an assessment of your property's current slope and drainage patterns. Our team then uses equipment to carefully move and shape the earth, creating a gentle slope (usually about a 2% grade) away from your foundation. We ensure proper compaction and often integrate solutions like French drains if needed. For a typical residential property, the grading process itself usually takes 1-3 days, depending on the yard's size and complexity, ensuring long-term protection for your home.
