Can you regrade an older yard in Washington, GA that has settled over time?
Yes. Settled soil often slopes back toward the house, so we rebuild the grade to fall away. We match the new grade to existing walks and beds where we can.
Grading, Landscaping & Equipment Rental in Northeast Georgia
Washington, GA
Weather Tech Roofing is a grading contractor serving Washington from our base in Elberton. We regrade yards, driveways and business lots so rain moves away from buildings. Good grading protects foundations, keeps lawns firm and stops puddles at the door. Then our team can finish the ground with landscaping.
We work for homeowners and businesses across Washington. That includes older homes on established streets and newer houses on the edge of town. Shops and offices count on dry parking areas and walkways. Grading helps keep them that way.
Older yards often have settled soil that now slopes toward the house. We rebuild that slope so water drains out and away. Where space is tight, smaller machines let us work without tearing up the whole yard.
Older homes often sit on crawl spaces or brick piers. When the ground slopes in, water collects underneath and stays damp. We add and shape soil so the ground falls away from the walls.
Grading work in Washington often happens around trees that are decades old. Most roots sit near the surface. So we keep heavy cuts and fills out of the root zone where we can. That keeps the shade you have while fixing the water problem.

Grading fixes how water moves across the yard. Hardscapes and lawns finish the job. We build retaining walls that hold back soil on a slope and create flat space. We lay paver walks and patios on a packed, well-drained base. For businesses, we grade parking and entry areas to stay dry.
A new lawn only does well on a smooth, well-drained grade. Once the shape is right, we lay sod or hydroseed the bare ground. Irrigation can go in at the same time so new grass gets steady water.
Our Services
We handle grading, site work, landscaping, hauling and equipment rental in Washington. We work with homes, farms and businesses in nearby towns too.
Older properties hide things under the grass. Old drain lines, buried walks and utility lines can sit close to the surface. Tree roots spread wide in the top layer of soil. Each one changes where and how deep we can dig.
Buried lines get marked through Georgia 811 before we dig. Near roots and old walks, we use lighter machines and shallow cuts. You get better drainage while keeping the trees and features you value. We also work in nearby Tignall.
