Expert Grading in North Seattle, WA

Proper grading is the foundation of any concrete project. Before a slab, driveway, or pad goes down, the ground beneath it must be shaped and compacted correctly. Strictly Concrete LLC handles grading for residential properties across North Seattle, Shoreline, Lynnwood, Edmonds, Kenmore, Bothell, Mountlake Terrace, Mukilteo, Mill Creek, Everett, and Snohomish County. The region sits on glacial till soils with dense clay layers that restrict water infiltration. Without correct grading, water pools near foundations and concrete surfaces settle unevenly over time. We shape and level the site so water drains away from structures, the subgrade is stable, and your concrete has a solid base to last. Whether you need rough grading to establish site elevations or finish grading ahead of a pour, we prepare the ground so the concrete work above it performs the way it should. Call us to get your site assessed and ready.

FAQ

Grading FAQ

Common questions about grading in North Seattle, WA.

Do I need grading before a concrete slab or driveway in North Seattle?

Yes, grading is required before any concrete pour to create a stable, level base. Skipping this step on North Seattle's clay-heavy soils leads to uneven settling and cracking.

What does grading actually involve for a residential concrete project?

Grading involves cutting or filling soil to reach the correct elevation and slope, then compacting the subgrade. This gives the concrete a firm, even surface to rest on.

Can grading fix water pooling near my foundation in Shoreline or Lynnwood?

Yes, regrading the soil around your home redirects water away from the foundation. This is a common issue in Shoreline and Lynnwood where dense glacial soils slow drainage.

Does Strictly Concrete LLC handle grading in Snohomish County?

Yes, we serve Snohomish County including Everett, Mill Creek, Mukilteo, and Bothell. We assess each site's slope and soil conditions before any concrete work begins.

What is the difference between rough grading and finish grading?

Rough grading establishes the general elevation and slope of a site, while finish grading fine-tunes the surface to exact grade ahead of a concrete pour.

How do I know if my yard in Edmonds or Kenmore needs regrading?

Standing water near your home, soil washing toward the house, or an uneven surface are clear signs regrading is needed. Contact us to have your Edmonds or Kenmore property evaluated.

Soni and his crew were awesome to work with. Right from the free estimate through to completion of our carport, entry way and walkway, Soni was on point for communication and cost. The preparation and installation was on time and Soni was happy to accommodate our requests. We are very pleased with the work done. I would not hesitate to recommend Strictly Concrete or use them again.

Soni is a great communicator and his team worked tirelessly to complete our stair and driveway replacement (in horrible weather, to boot). The results are great and they left the place spotless. I wouldn’t think twice about recommending them!

Soni was thoughtful and informative at every step of our project. The landing area and path were tricky to install, but Soni and his crew did a great job and we are very pleased with the results.

Soni and the Strictly Concrete crew were a pleasure to work with. Always prompt and they moved fast, while delivering high quality work at a reasonable price. The project started as just a patio, but I was so satisfied with the work, I completely redid my driveway too. I'm able to enjoy summer evenings in the backyard again. I finally have some guest parking and an easy exit path without having to do a 20-point. If you need concrete work, look no further. Thanks Soni and team!

These guys were great. They did such a great job and worked hard. Easy to work with and their price were very competitive.
