There are many reasons why you would want to change the slope of your lawn. The reasons could be cosmetic, or they could be practical. You may need to direct water away from the foundation of your home, or you may need to retain moisture where your lawns and gardens are. Whatever the reasons, there are a few factors that will affect the price of resloping your lawn
How much resloping is necessary?
The single largest factor in the cost of resloping your lawn is how much you need to change the direction of the current slope. If your lawn makes a steep downward turn in one direction and you need to have it slope dramatically in the other direction, that will require considerably more effort (and money) than if it just needs a slight resurfacingQuality of the Soil
If your property site on compacted soil with a lot of rock then the efforts to reslope it will be a lot more work than if you are just digging up loose soil and redistributing it elsewhere on your propertyErosion Control
Any time that you dig up the ground and put it somewhere else you run the risk of having erosion issues. The goal is that the moved earth will stay where you moved it! If it slides or moves again you can have major erosion issues. One way to enable erosion control is to plant living rooting plants, this is a great way to keep the earth from running off with the first rainstorm. Another method is to install wooden or metal edging or bracing where you have moved the new soil. Either way, when resloping your lawn consider erosion control factors as part of the cost of the resurfacing.Refer a Pro who does this service and receive an Amazon Gift Card!
