Pricing pending verification

What drives the cost

  • Area to regrade and volume of soil to move or import
  • Access for equipment
  • Sod, seed or landscape restoration
  • Drains, swales or outlets included with the work
  • Trees, utilities and irrigation to work around
  • Erosion control while soil is bare

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
