Low spots in a yard might seem minor — until they start collecting water, killing grass, creating mud, or becoming tripping hazards. Here's how professional dirt work addresses the problem permanently.
Why Low Spots Form
- Soil settlement over buried utilities or decomposed organic matter
- Erosion from water runoff
- Tree root decay leaving voids
- Inadequate fill during original grading
How We Fix Them
The solution depends on depth and cause. Minor low spots can be filled and graded. Larger depressions require excavating to find the cause (often a void or soft spot), filling with proper compactable material, and grading the surface to blend in.
