Serving Greensboro, High Point, Winston-Salem & the NC Piedmont Triad
Get the Water Off Your Land
Piedmont clay does not drink water, it sheds it. That is how driveways rut, crawl spaces flood, pastures turn to soup and yards grow moss instead of grass. The fix is not another French drain patch, it is grading the ground to actually move water where you want it to go.
We regrade yards, driveways, pads and rural acreage across the Triad, and we tie in the swales, culverts, drains and outlets needed to keep water moving after the next storm.
What You Get With KNS LandWorx
Why Grading Fixes What Drains Cannot
Adding drain pipe to bad grade is a losing game. If the ground is pushing water toward the house, no amount of PVC is going to fix it long-term. Fixing the grade first, then supporting it with the right drainage components, is how the problem stays solved.
Good grading also protects everything else you have invested in: foundation, driveway, septic field, landscaping, fences and outbuildings. It is one of the highest-value projects you can do on a Piedmont property.
Our Process
A straightforward path from overgrown or unusable land to a finished job you can be proud of.
- 1
Water Assessment
We walk the property, ideally after or during rain if possible, and identify where water is coming from, where it is pooling and where it needs to go.
- 2
Grading Plan
You get a straightforward plan: what gets cut, what gets filled, what slope is being built and where the water is being routed.
- 3
Cut, Fill and Shape
We regrade the ground with the correct equipment, compact fill where it matters and build in swales, crowns and slopes that actually work.
- 4
Drainage and Stabilization
Culverts, drain tie-ins and outlets are installed where needed, then disturbed ground is seeded, strawed or armored so the fix stays in place.
Ideal For Piedmont Triad Homeowners Who Need
- Yards with standing water, moss or soggy low spots
- Driveways that rut, wash out or hold water
- Homes with water finding the crawl space or basement

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need grading or just a French drain?
If water is pooling because the ground slopes the wrong way, grading is the real fix. Drains are a great supporting tool but rarely solve a grading problem on their own.
Can you fix a driveway that keeps washing out?
Yes. Most repeat wash-outs come from grade, crown and drainage together. We reshape the driveway, add crown, install culverts where needed and armor problem spots.
Will grading kill my lawn?
Any regrade disturbs the surface. We keep disturbance to the working area, then seed and straw so grass can come back quickly.
How does grading tie into erosion control?
Good grading and good erosion control are the same project. As soon as the grade is set, we protect it with seeding, straw, blankets, riprap or swales so the next storm does not undo the work.
Where do you provide grading and drainage?
