Details That Matter Most

When you schedule grading work, the team starts by assessing current slopes, identifying low spots, and mapping where water collects during rain events. In Chester, this often means addressing yards that drain toward foundations or areas where poor grading has caused soil erosion. You'll receive a grading plan that shows how slopes will be adjusted and where drainage features like swales or berms will be installed.

Lilco Construction Inc uses laser levels, grading rakes, and heavy equipment to reshape land with precision. Operators follow drainage correction standards to ensure water moves away from structures and toward safe collection areas. You get a site that's ready for landscaping, construction, or outdoor features, with grades that protect your foundation and improve yard health.

The grading process includes removing high spots, filling low areas, and compacting soil to create stable, even surfaces. Proper compaction prevents future settling, and smooth finishes ensure your yard looks clean and functions correctly after heavy rain or snowmelt.
