Overview
On the Oregon Coast, water is the challenge. Soggy low spots, runoff against the house and eroding slopes are common — and fixable. Steve Smith Masonry regrades yards, installs drainage, and clears overgrown properties across Newport and Lincoln County.
Good grading sends water where it belongs: away from your foundation and off your lawn. We shape the ground, install French drains and drainage lines where needed, and clean up overgrowth so the yard is ready for new landscaping or simply usable again.
Our Process
How We Build Your Grading, Drainage & Yard Cleanup
Assess Drainage
We find where water pools and runs, and plan grading and drainage to move it away from your home and lawn.
Regrade the Ground
We reshape low spots and slopes so surface water drains properly instead of sitting or eroding.
Install Drainage
Where needed we add French drains, catch basins and drain lines to carry water safely away.
Clean & Prep
We clear overgrowth, haul debris, and leave the yard graded and ready for lawn, beds or hardscape.
