About Our Grading Services in Overland Park, KS

Uneven ground can send rainwater toward a house, leave low spots in a lawn, or complicate a new patio or planting area. Grading changes the slope and surface to fit the planned use.

We review the existing grade, soil, water path, and site access before discussing rough or finish grading. Tell us where water collects and what you plan to build or plant after the work.

Luis and his team were awesome! Incredibly responsive, high quality work, extremely professional, and priced more than fair.

Brian with Gold was prompt to come give me a quote to replace my old school wood mulch with rock that matches my home and updated edging. He and the crew did a great job; I woke up the next morning to a text from my neighbor how great my landscaping looked!

I’ve used Gold Lawn services twice. I needed to replace a very ugly and hazardous concrete walkway. I had never gone through the process of finding someone to do a job like this. When Im spending thousands of dollars- I’m going to have questions/concerns. I had communicated with a dozen of others for bids before meeting with Brian. I was surprised some people just don’t show up. Brian showed up. He was prompt. He answered questions/concerns as they came up. Brian’s bid fell right in the middle-not the least expensive, not the most expensive. I eventually put my trust in him and chose to hire him. Did it go perfectly? No. Most of his crew seemed very skilled at their craft, hardworking and professional. I knew I wanted to use brick but wished the design felt a little less rushed but we were up against a timeline and it is a walkway to the house. Overall, Brian and his crew worked with tight time constraints and got the job done in less than ideal weather. Two yrs later the finished product still gets compliments by almost everyone. On another occasion, Brian’s crew buried downspouts in my backyard to help keep water away from the foundation. I would recommend Brian Gold and will use his service again. Thank you.
