Yard Regrading & Grading Contractor
Precision yard grading to establish positive drainage away from your home — correcting the root cause of most water problems.
Poor yard grading is the root cause of most Chester County and Delaware County drainage problems — negative slope toward the foundation, low spots that collect water, and compacted areas that block infiltration. JHL Drainage Solutions provides precision yard regrading that corrects drainage at the source.
Our regrading process reshapes the subgrade to establish positive drainage away from the home, then replaces topsoil with proper grade and slope. We maintain a minimum 6-inch drop over the first 10 feet from the foundation wall. Where regrading alone can’t solve the problem, we integrate it with a French drain or catch basin system.
Regrading is frequently the most cost-effective drainage fix because it addresses the root cause rather than managing symptoms. JHL Drainage Solutions provides free site assessments throughout West Chester, Newtown Square, and all of Chester County and Delaware County.

Common Questions
Signs include water pooling near your foundation after rain, a visible slope toward the house, or consistently wet areas in the yard. A JHL site assessment determines whether regrading, a drainage system, or both are needed.
Regrading costs vary significantly by scope — from $500 for a small grade correction to $3,000+ for larger properties. We provide free written estimates after a site assessment.
Yes, but clay soil often requires regrading combined with a drainage system — clay compacts easily and limits infiltration. We assess both grading and soil conditions during every site visit.
