Pricing pending verification
What drives the cost
- How much soil must be moved, added or hauled away
- Access for equipment around the house
- Beds, plantings, irrigation and hardscape to work around
- Sod or landscape restoration
- Whether drains or swales are needed with the grading
How to compare quotes
- Ask each contractor to describe where the water will go and what outlet they will use
- Compare the same scope: length of drain or pipe, number of inlets, and outlet type
- Ask what restoration is included (sod, concrete, beds, irrigation repairs)
- Ask who handles utility locates, permits and HOA approval
- Ask about warranty and what happens if the problem is not solved
