Sunbeam Construction – Trusted Land Grading & Leveling in Cumberland WA 98022

What Is Land Grading & Leveling and Why Does It Matter?

Land grading and leveling is the process of creating a smooth, even surface on your property by moving and reshaping soil. Proper grading ensures water flows away from buildings, prevents pooling, reduces erosion, and creates a stable base for driveways, patios, lawns, or new construction. Without it, even small slopes or low spots can lead to wet basements, cracked foundations, muddy yards, or drainage headaches after every rain.

We handle both rough grading (major earth movement for new builds or large projects) and finish grading (fine-tuning the surface for seeding, sod, or hardscapes). Good grading also improves the look and usability of your outdoor space. A level yard is safer for kids and pets, easier to mow, and makes future landscaping projects simpler and less expensive.

Homeowners and contractors rely on accurate grading to meet basic site preparation standards. When the ground is uneven, water follows the path of least resistance—often straight toward your home. That’s why we always check existing slopes and plan the work so everything drains correctly from the start.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a typical land grading project take? Most residential jobs take 1–4 days, depending on size and weather. Larger commercial projects may take longer. We give you a realistic timeline upfront.

Do you remove and haul away excess dirt? Yes. We handle all excavation, hauling, and disposal of extra material so your site is left clean.

Can you grade around existing trees and landscaping? Absolutely. We take care to protect mature trees, shrubs, and hardscapes whenever possible.

Is land grading the same as excavation? They go hand-in-hand, but they’re different. Excavation removes or adds large amounts of soil. Grading is the precise shaping and smoothing that comes after.

Will my yard be muddy for weeks after grading? We schedule finish grading when conditions are favorable and can bring in topsoil or seed right away if you want the area stabilized quickly.

When is the best time of year for grading work. Spring through fall is ideal in our area, but we work year-round as long as the ground isn’t frozen or extremely wet.
