How do I grade wet pavement?

Question

I'm dealing with a negative grade against my foundation and want to correct it with concrete. It's currently just dirt. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Answer 1

If only a few inches is needed then dig a trench around your foundation with a ditch toward where you want it to drain.The ditch will grade itself.

Answer 2

Why do you need concrete?     It would be just as easy to grade the dirt away from the foundation and then put down some heavy plastic and cover it with gravel or tree bark.   Just be sure you can get the water to flow away from the area, or regardless of what you put there, water will pool and may end up back where you don't want it.
