One of the last steps when building a new home is the grading and landscaping of your yard. This would include adding the driveway, which can be gravel, asphalt or concrete. You will also pour the sidewalk and front porch. The yard would be graded with topsoil and the grass is planted or sod installed. It’s likely that there won’t be any shrubs, bushes or trees, so those are things you can do on your own timetable. You can get tips on caring for your landscaping in our lawn and garden blog posts.
