Grading Information The yard area of your home has been graded according to an approved grading plan to drain water away from the foundation, allowing it to flow to the street, drainage swale or retention area. • Your yard or common grounds will be final graded with the existing soil that is on your lot. Final grading will include leveling the yard by dragging the soil to remove large rocks and debris. Small rocks do not create a problem for the installation of sod. An ample amount of watering, sun light and a staged seasonal fertilizing program will produce a beautiful lawn no matter what the soil conditions. • Do not f ill drainage swales. Do not place concrete patios or sidewalks in areas that block proper flow . Permanent structures (concrete slabs) should slope away from the home and follow the established contour of the yard grading. Slabs should be set to the proper elevation, below the top of the foundation. Slabs should not block the design drainage. If there are planting beds or irrigation systems installed it is important to be sure there is proper slope away from the foundation. Ensure adequate drainage, and no pooling of water at the foundation.
