All Pro Construction & Landscape: Local Landscapers Serving New Athens, IL 62264

Poor grading is a primary cause of water pooling near foundations here. We expertly regrade your lawn to create a gentle slope away from your home, ensuring rainwater and melt runoff flow safely into designated areas or storm systems instead of collecting against your house, which prevents foundation cracks and basement flooding.

For yards with persistent saturation, we often recommend installing a subsurface drainage system like a French drain. This involves digging a gravel-filled trench with a perforated pipe that collects groundwater and redirects it away from the problem area, providing a permanent fix for soggy lawns and protecting your landscape investment.

Often, yes. Through strategic landscaping—like using swales (shallow ditches), berms (mounded soil), and water-tolerant plants in rain gardens—we can manage surface water flow naturally. This approach not only solves drainage issues but also enhances your yard's beauty, creating a functional landscape tailored to New Athens soil and rainfall patterns.
