What is needed to prepare for landscaping installation?

Obtain a copy of the Lot Grading Certificate for the property. The Lot Grading Certificate is provided by the builder. It is a surveyed record of the lot grades and purpose of the certificate is to ensure that the builder has placed and shaped the topsoil on the lot to reasonable tolerances of the approved engineered grades. A copy is sent to homeowners as well as Mountain’s Edge to indicate that the lot grading has been completed and ready for landscaping. Properly installed topsoil ensures rainfall, snow melt or irrigated water drains away from the foundation. Improper drainage can cause moisture or dampness of the foundation and basement.
The lot landscaping package is intended to be a ‘starter kit’ to help homeowners enjoy their property sooner. Whether the homeowner intends to have xeriscape or a yard lush with grasses and flowers, the homeowner can discuss their landscaping plans with Mountain’s Edge and have them omit areas of sod where the homeowner might choose to put a personal mark on their yard.
