Lawn leveling, also known as yard grading, is the process of creating a level grade line on your lawn. It involves removing high points and filling in low points to create a smooth surface for your lawn. This process can help solve drainage issues, prevent water from pooling in certain areas, and improve the overall appearance of your lawn.
The best time to regrade your yard depends on several factors such as weather conditions, soil moisture, and the type of grass you have. Generally, it is recommended to do this DIY project during spring or fall when the soil is moist but not saturated. Avoid doing it during hot summer months or frozen winter months as this can damage your grass.
