How it's done
First we decide where the water goes — ground levelled perfectly flat holds water against the building. The slope is usually one to two percent away from the house. High spots are cut down, low ones filled and compacted so they don't settle.
When we say no
We don't spread topsoil over an unprepared base just to make it look flat. The first rain shows everything.
What to know afterward
Freshly filled ground settles for months. If paving goes on top, wait a season or have it specially compacted.
