Sal and his team did an outstanding job on or paver patio. Their attention to detail was amazing. The base they prepared prior to installing the pavers was significant and they guarantee their pavers/patios will not sink. They kept us updated every step of the way and when they finished they repaired any areas in our lawn that were damaged. We would definitely use Sal in the future. The Citta’s

Expert Grading and Site Preparation in Batavia, IL
Grading and site preparation in Batavia starts with one core problem: water pooling where it should not. Batavia's prairie clay and glacial till soils drain slowly by nature. When a yard sits flat or slopes toward a foundation, standing water builds up fast after rain or snowmelt. Ever Green Tree Service reads how water moves across your property, identifies low spots and compacted areas, then reshapes the ground so water flows away from your home. We clear debris, rough-grade the soil, and fine-grade to a consistent slope that supports drainage. Where the site calls for it, we tie grading work into swale shaping or surface drainage paths. Batavia's Kane County Stormwater Ordinance also requires positive rear and side yard drainage in all developments, so proper grading is not just practical — it keeps your property in line with local standards. If your yard holds water after every storm, call us to schedule a site review.

Grading and Site Preparation FAQ
Common questions about grading and site preparation in Batavia, IL.
Your yard likely needs regrading if water pools near your foundation or stands in low spots long after rain stops. Batavia's clay soils drain slowly, so even a slight slope toward your home can cause repeated standing water.
Regrading can reduce surface water that runs toward your foundation and contributes to basement seepage. If water is also entering through subsurface paths, a drainage system may be needed alongside the grading work.
Yes, we work on sloped and uneven lots throughout Batavia. We assess the existing grade, identify where water collects, and reshape the soil to direct flow away from structures and toward a safe outlet.
Site preparation includes clearing debris, breaking up compacted soil, rough grading to remove high and low spots, and fine grading to a consistent slope. This gives any new lawn, plant bed, or drainage system a stable, properly drained base.
We plan grading work to avoid unnecessary disturbance to established trees and plant beds. Root zones are identified before any soil is moved, and we adjust our approach to protect what is already growing on your property.
No special preparation is needed on your end before we arrive. We conduct a site review first to assess slope, soil conditions, and where water is moving before any grading work begins.
