Britton Shepard Landscapes - Fall City's Expert Landscaping

Poor grading leads to water pooling and soil erosion. We correct this through strategic landscape construction, which may include regrading the soil, installing proper subsurface drainage, and building functional yet attractive retaining walls. This not only solves the drainage issue but also creates a stable, level foundation for new lawns, patios, or gardens.

Shifting rocks are often a sign of an unstable base or improper installation. Our approach involves excavating the area, installing a stable gravel base and landscape fabric to prevent weed growth and settling, then expertly resetting the stones. For steep slopes, we integrate retaining wall construction to hold everything securely in place, creating a low-maintenance and permanent rock garden feature.

Proper drainage is critical for any hardscape in our climate. During the patio construction or installation, we design a slight pitch away from your home and often integrate permeable base materials or discreet channel drains. Our irrigation design services also ensure surrounding planting beds are properly watered without oversaturating the patio base, protecting your investment from heaving or settling due to water issues.
