Question Answers

We have standing water in our Wheeling yard after rain. What's the best long-term solution?

Standing water often points to grading or drainage issues. We offer a combination of solutions tailored to your property, including regrading the lawn, installing French drains, and constructing retaining walls to manage soil and water flow. For hard surfaces, we can design and install permeable patios or driveways that allow water to soak through, reducing runoff and pooling effectively.

Can you help with bare patches in my lawn, and will they just come back?

Absolutely. First, we identify the cause—often compaction, poor soil, or the drainage issues common in our area. Our service goes beyond simple seeding; we correct the underlying problem with soil aeration, topdressing, and proper irrigation system design or repair. We then replant with hardy, region-appropriate grass or shrubs, followed by our tailored lawn care and maintenance plans to ensure your lawn stays full and healthy.

We want a new patio but are worried about adding to drainage problems. What are our options?

That's a smart concern. We specialize in hardscape construction that improves drainage, not hinders it. We can design and install patios using permeable pavers or set traditional materials with proper slope and base materials to direct water away from your home and into designated drainage areas or dry wells. This approach integrates your new patio with solutions like retaining walls or channel drains for a beautiful, functional, and dry result.
