Grading, Sod & Drainage in Nashville, Tennessee
Regrading, French drains and new sod for yards that hold water or send it toward the house.
Nashville's Landscaping connects homeowners across Middle Tennessee with licensed, insured landscapers for grading, sod & drainage. Estimates are free and written, the price is agreed before work starts, and the workmanship is backed in writing.
What the job usually involves
Every property is different, which is why the estimate comes after somebody has actually looked at it rather than before. What does not change is the process: assess, explain the options in plain language, put the scope and price in writing, then do the work to that scope.

Grading, Sod & Drainage, in practice
A great deal of what looks like a landscaping problem is a drainage problem, and a great deal of what gets diagnosed as a foundation problem is the same drainage problem a few years later. Correcting grade and getting downspout water away from the wall is cheap by comparison with either.
New sod on ground that was not graded first will follow the ground. Doing the grading, the drainage and the sod as one sequence costs less than doing the sod twice.
