Professional Grading for Drainage Issues

Drainage problems are often a result of poor grading. If your land doesn't slope away from your home or structures, rainwater and runoff can pool around foundations, basements, or driveways, leading to serious damage over time.


Our team provides expert grading for drainage correction, reshaping the land to direct water away from buildings, walkways, and other key areas. We use proven techniques to ensure proper slope, grade, and flow that match your property’s unique topography. Whether it’s a subtle fix or a complete redesign, we’ll help you restore control over where your water goes.

Common signs you may need drainage grading:

  • Water pooling near your foundation or garage
  • Saturated lawn or standing water after storms
  • Erosion along slopes or near driveways
  • Mold, mildew, or water stains in basements
  • Soggy or unusable outdoor areas

New Culvert Installation

If your property includes a ditch, low spot, or private road crossing, a properly installed culvert is essential to manage water flow and maintain access. At United Grading and Surveying, we install culverts that allow water to pass under driveways, roads, or landscape features safely and efficiently.


Our team handles every part of the culvert installation process, from excavation and grading to placement and backfilling. We ensure the culvert is set at the correct angle and depth to support both drainage and structural stability. Whether for stormwater management, access driveways, or erosion control, our culvert installations are built to last.

Culvert Replacement and Repair

Over time, culverts can deteriorate, clog, or become misaligned due to shifting soil and heavy use. A damaged culvert can disrupt water flow and lead to backups, washouts, and flooding. We offer culvert replacement services to restore proper drainage and protect your property.


We assess the condition of the existing culvert and recommend the best solution based on your site and usage needs. From replacing a rusted metal pipe to upsizing a culvert that no longer handles runoff effectively, we ensure your drainage system works as intended and complies with local codes.
