Grading & Drainage Correction questions from Menifee customers
- What actually counts as bad grading on a Menifee tract lot?
- Menifee's code sets the intended pattern: each lot graded so stormwater drains from the backyard through the side yard and front yard directly to the abutting street. On a pad-and-slope lot that pattern is established at rough grade. Bad grading here is usually an interrupted pattern rather than an absent one, and the interruption is often later fill, hardscape or a raised bed.
- Most of Menifee looks new. Are the older homes graded differently?
- Census ACS counts 37,247 housing units in the city, with 19,310 built in 2000 or later and 4,224 built before 1970. The newer half was laid out under modern subdivision grading plans that fixed lot drainage at the outset. The pre-1970 stock predates that framework, so work on those parcels is more often about establishing a drainage path than restoring one.
- Can regrading push water toward the slope behind my house?
- Menifee's grading regulations state that stormwater runoff shall not be allowed to flow over cut or fill slopes steeper than five to one. A correction that cures a wet lawn by tipping water at a rear slope conflicts with that and loads the slope face. The code's answer is to catch the water above the crest and carry it in a drain.
