Proper land grading and resloping protect your property by directing surface water away from structures and eliminating low spots where water collects. When grading is done correctly, it prevents foundation damage, yard flooding, and long-term drainage issues, especially in Illinois’ heavy rain and spring melt conditions.

Bana Landscaping provides professional grading and resloping services throughout Kankakee County, reshaping terrain to improve drainage, protect structures, and restore full usability to your property.

Why Grading & Resloping Matter in Kankakee County

Many properties in Kankakee County experience:

• Water pooling after rain
• Yards that slope toward the foundation
• Persistent soggy or unusable areas
• Erosion and soil washouts

Clay-heavy soils and frequent precipitation make proper slope and elevation control essential for long-term property protection.

Our Grading & Resloping Services

Complete Land Grading & Slope Correction

We regrade and reslope properties to:

• Redirect surface water away from homes and buildings
• Eliminate low spots and standing water
• Improve drainage across the entire yard
• Prepare sites for landscaping or construction

Each project is customized based on the property’s layout, soil conditions, and drainage needs.

Our Grading Process

Site Evaluation & Drainage Assessment

We begin by evaluating:

• Existing slopes and elevation changes
• Areas where water collects or flows
• Soil composition and absorption rates
• Drainage paths and discharge points

This allows us to design grading solutions that address the root cause of water problems.

Elevation Adjustment & Resloping

Using professional equipment, we reshape the land to establish proper slopes that move water safely away from structures while maintaining a natural appearance.

Swales & Drainage Transitions

When needed, we create shallow swales and smooth transitions that guide water across the property without disrupting the landscape.

Final Grading & Stabilization

After reshaping, surfaces are compacted and stabilized to prevent settling, erosion, or washouts. Topsoil is preserved and redistributed where appropriate.
