How To Level A Backyard. Leveling - leveling your lawn or yard area is simply the process of creating a smooth even surface that doesn't have unnecessary bumps or groups. Oftentimes, this unlevel surface can create serious foundation damage because the yard isn't draining the way it should.
But professionals say yard leveling plays a crucial role in maintaining an aesthetically pleasing yard, ensuring stability after landscaping work, and preventing serious damage and costly foundation repair.
Rake the topdressing to spread it out evenly.
Then, be prepared to adapt along the way depending on what you find as you start to level the yard. Like all outdoor decor, pavers require some preparation. You may still notice some low areas in the lawn but it's oftentimes best to allow the grass to grow up through the soil for at least a month before repeating the process.
