  1. builders use stakes and grade marks.what you could do is stake off your area then if you have access to a laser shoot it to hit all stakes and keep 1 grade mark that corresponds to the the same mark on each stake.then on one stake use the grade you need for the  ground and measure up to the mark on that stake.that measurement will be used on each mark on each stake you installed the same way.example if you measured 3"down from the mark to the grade you want do the same on each stake 3"down

    run string lines to grade you ground to height desired.add or remove dirt to achieve proper grade Compaq to allow for sinking


  2. You can use a hoe and a rake... I used a regular rake to level out my front yard.

  3. if you are talking about outside, a lot of people get a scraping machine to scrape it as flat as possible and then get a big roller machine to really smooth it out. If you mean inside, there is a product at the home improvement stores that you pour onto the flooring to allow it to self level as it will pool in the uneven parts which will make it easier to put new flooring down.

  5. You need to get a stopper its called and what u do is when u start it up it will just like vibrate across the ground and u do this on the area u want leveled and u do that until it looks flat and if it slopes down a lot u need to add dirt until its level and it should be level.

  6. U have to use wooden spike and long string lines to mark the areas to level the ground to ur desire.

  7. For small areas, you can tie a string to poles set out far apart, and then use a bubble leveler (like they use in carpentry) to check the level of the string.  That way, all you have to do is just measure the distance of the string from the ground, at different points along the length of the string!

    For very large areas, you can dig a small ditch around the area that you're balancing, and fill it with water.  The water will naturally be flat and you can shape the inside area around the waterways!  That is how the ancient pharos were able to get their pyramids exactly flat!

  8. that is a machine sold that is a barrel (like a wheel barrel) and you fill up with water that helped me
