What do leveling services include?
Yard leveling involves creating a smooth surface on your piece of land. It almost means the same as grading services, which refers to the sloping of a yard away from the foundation of a home. Both are important when you want to have a beautifully maintained lawn and start on garden improvement projects. There are different methods to level or grade your yard, depending on its natural grading, soil makeup, vegetation, and general needs. Here are the most common ways that you can expect from yard leveling and grading services near you:
Soil mixture installation
For this method, you may need to have your grass mowed first and detach your lawn as needed. When it’s ready, your Tasker can dig up the grass in the sunken area of the lawn. They can mix topsoil, sand, and compost and then use this soil mixture to fill the sunken areas and holes. Once done with filling out the holes and divots, your Tasker can cover your entire lawn with about 1/4 to 1/2 inches of the mix to even out the land. Keeping this layer thin is important because putting too much can choke your grass. Then, you can run your sprinklers and water your lawn to help the soil mixture settle in, filling air pockets and revitalising your property.
Bobcat machinery
When your Tasker uses a versatile piece of machinery like Bobcat, it allows them to scoop and move dirt easily. If you book yard grading near you, you may be required to put up barriers around the perimeter of your operation. When your space is ready, your Tasker can start using the Bobcat to shave off parts of your unlevel yard, starting at an area that is as level as possible. As your Tasker levels your yard, they can create benchmarks and check out its grading. If needed, they can adjust low spots with low soil, while the excess soil will be sent to the spoils pile. The Bobcat can still be used to tamp down the ground. Once done, your Tasker can call a dump truck to have the excess dirt removed.Â
Excavation
Booking yard grading services near you may not just involve filling holes into level the land, especially if you’re planning to build a structure on it. You can request a site visit to help the professional assess any potential obstacles. Your Tasker can first clear out vegetation and tree roots. Then, they can start digging holes to create low-lying areas using a bulldozer or backhoe to be involved. The dirt removed while your Tasker is digging can be used to back-fill around the new structure. Afterwards, the richer topsoil that was also removed can be used to overlay the fill dirt, so that grass and shrubbery can grow well on your newly-graded yard. Take advantage of this method to remove unwanted or contaminated soil if needed.

Level a 11 x9 ft space for a shed
£250
Selhurst, Greater London, CR0
20th Jun 2022
I need someone to rotate the ground and level out a space to lay a 11x9 ft base for my garden shed. The ground is slightly slopped and unlevel so I will need a professional to accurately level the ground out perfectly for me. The ground is the lawn area in the picture - upon doing this I’d then like someone to lay the plastic base down (which easily clips in place and is not difficult) and then fill it with gravel (15 x 22kg bags have been ordered) to create a level base. If possible I’d then like someone to build the shed - these tasks will require more than one person I think especially as any equipment will need to come through the living room to get to the garden including the gravel bags which will be outside the front of the house but this is up to your own judgment.

Install shed/trellises, level ground, lay down a grass protection mesh
£200
South Wimbledon, Greater London
7th Mar 2022
I need a handyman gardener type service. I am looking for someone to install a wooden shed, some trellises potentially, level the uneven ground and lay down a grass protection mesh so that my grass can regrow and cover what has now become a mud slide due to the recent addition of a naughty young dog. I also have some old shed bits and an old bed frame I would appreciate being removed as a part of this job. The garden itself is quite long, I haven't measured it to be honest but I would estimate it is 10m by 6m but will need to confirm that piece of information although I don't think that really matters all that much with the aforementioned tasks. I'm really not sure how much this would cost and I assume that the budget is specifically for labour as opposed to labour and parts but please feel free to quote whatever the going rate is. - Due date: Flexible
