Damn, that is a lot of work and money. When the snow melts and spring comes I will go out there with a level and see if I can do the 1/4" per foot. My front yard is going down hill (I look down on the street). I would guess up by my house it is 8' high than at the street, it just slopes back near my house. Also, my paint picture is exagerating just for visual understanding. I may be able to make it work.
When I dig up the yard to make it slope, do I need to put down plastic underneath? Or, is the 1/4" per ' enough to get water away before it penetrates into the soil?
I should probably make a tamp somehow too, huh?
If I am going to do all this work maybe I should do some landscapping with edgers and gravel? Anything I should know about grades when doing that?
