Water should flow away from your home, not collect around it, where it will cause issues. Elion Landscaping & Tree Service provides professional grading and resloping services that help improve drainage, reduce erosion, and protect your landscape from costly drainage problems.
Heavy rain can reveal issues that are easy to miss when the sun is shining. Water begins pooling in your yard, mulch washes onto your lawn, the soil starts eroding, or runoff water may collect near your home’s foundation. Left unaddressed, those drainage problems can gradually affect both your landscape and your property.
Professional grading and resloping help guide water where it’s supposed to go. By reshaping the slope of your property, you can improve drainage, reduce erosion, and create a healthier landscape that’s better prepared for Oklahoma’s changing weather.
Water always follows the path of least resistance. That means it may occasionally end up collecting in places where it will cause problems. But professional grading and resloping services help give water a better place to go.
We identify the way water moves across your property before recommending a grading solution.
Every grading plan is designed to help redirect water away from your home and other important areas.
We'll explain our recommendations, answer your questions, and keep you informed at every step.
Our team carefully reshapes your property’s grade to improve drainage and protect your landscape.
“The best grading work is the kind you never have to think about again. When water drains the way it should, you can spend less time worrying about your yard and more time enjoying it.”

Water rarely causes the same problem in every part of a property. One area may stay soggy after every rain, while another slowly loses soil to erosion. Grading and resloping can address those challenges by improving the way water moves across your landscape.
Direct water away from your home’s foundation before it has a chance to cause damage. Proper grading reduces standing water around the house and protects one of your property’s most important components.
Low spots and poor drainage can leave parts of your yard muddy long after it rains. Grading helps water move more effectively, allowing your lawn and landscape to dry out faster.
Runoff can gradually wash away soil, mulch, and planting beds over time. Resloping your property helps to slow erosion by giving water a better way to move away from your property.
A properly graded property creates a strong foundation for new landscaping, sod, patios, walkways, and other outdoor improvements. Taking care of drainage problems first helps set future projects up for success.
Elion Landscaping & Tree Service proudly serves the following areas:
A single puddle after a storm isn’t always cause for concern. But when the same drainage problem shows up again and again, your property’s grading may be part of the problem.
You may need to speak with a grading professional if any of the following scenarios feel familiar:
The amount of grading your property needs has the biggest impact on overall costs. Correcting a few low areas requires less time and equipment than regrading large sections of a yard or addressing significant drainage concerns.
Most grading and resloping projects range from approximately $1,200 to $8,000, with many homeowners paying around $3,000.
Factors that affect pricing include:
Drainage problems rarely improve on their own, and it’s not always obvious what’s causing them. These answers explain how grading and resloping work and what you can expect as you begin planning your project.
Grading and resloping reshape the surface of your property so water flows away from your home instead of collecting in low areas. Proper grading helps reduce standing water, erosion, and other common drainage problems while creating a healthier landscape.
Standing water after it rains, soggy areas that take days to dry, erosion, and water collecting near your foundation are common signs you may have a drainage problem on your hands. If you’re seeing the same drainage problems after every storm, it’s worth having your property’s slope evaluated.
Grading can solve many drainage problems, but it’s not always the only solution. Some properties may also benefit from drainage systems or similar improvements. We’ll look at how water moves across your property and recommend the approach that makes the most sense.
Not usually. While adding soil can temporarily fill a low spot, it doesn’t always correct the underlying water drainage problem. Proper grading reshapes the slope so water moves away from your home instead of creating new drainage problems elsewhere.
Grading changes the contour of the ground, so some disruption is typical. After the work is complete, we’ll talk about the best options for restoring affected areas with sod, seed, mulch, or other landscaping improvements.
Many grading projects can be completed within a day or two, while larger or more complex properties may take several days. Before work begins, we’ll provide a project timeline so you know what to expect.
Yes. Taking care of drainage concerns before installing sod, planting beds, patios, walkways, or other landscape features helps create a stable foundation for the rest of your project and reduces the likelihood of future drainage problems.
The next heavy rain doesn’t have to leave you wondering what your yard will look like afterward. Schedule your free on-site estimate today and let Elion Landscaping & Tree Service create a grading solution designed for your property.

Elion designed a new flower bed around my pool. It is beautiful. I love how it looks and I love all the plants they used. David had good ideas about what to plant and how to lay it out. I’m really excited and anxious to enjoy our back yard. The communication was great and the work was done very quickly. I would highly recommend using them.+4Posted on Google![]()

I had them come out and do a simple fix on my front planter; the brick wall was compromised and falling down. They rebuild part of the wall and it looks beautiful! I was worried it would be obvious that different bricks were used since my original brick has a white splash to it, but it’s not noticeable at all. Not to mention that I found the price very reasonable. I will definitely use them for any future needs and highly recommend.+3Posted on Google![]()

My over-50-year-old pecan tree needed a good pruning. David quickly got to work with his arborist, who gave my tree a much-needed trim and reshaping. The tree now looks much better, will stay healthy, and will look beautiful in the spring. I am pleased with the service and price, and look forward to working with Elion Landscaping on other projects. A big "thank you" to David and his crew.+0Posted on Google![]()

They did great work on our yard! It was easy to get in contact with them and the response time was very quick. The owner is very friendly and personable. We asked them to remove all the leaves in our yard, remove a few voluntary trees, and make the flower bed in our front yard look nice. The team that did the work worked really hard and did a very nice job. It was a lot of work and our yard looks fantastic.Posted on Google![]()
