I just love when people have to the point clear tutorial videos. 6mins and I walk away wiser. Not like the 29min videos of excessive information and you don’t walk away any wiser.

This was probably the best tutorial for grading your yard! An invaluable amount of information here

Awesome information. Surface water = slope repair. Ground water = Sump pump.

I did this for a neighbor's house. After we built up the slope and tamped in in place we covered it in several sheets of black plastic and added a layer of decorative white stone. Looks great and two years later still no leaks into the basement!

Amazing how many people and so called experts don't know the difference between ground and surface water.
Good info!

Thanks, Uncle Larry! I have a terrible water flow/erosion issue in my crawl space ever since a neighbor dumped a foot of hot pack in the alley, and I’ve been scratching my head ever since. I think I’ve got it figured now. 🎉

I was wondering how to deal with sloping the grade when the windows set low, your info on the use of window wells is valuable, also the difference between ground and surface water, good stuff.

Loved this and I was about to ask about groundwater and you answered that question. Fantastic!
