Clark Building Group | Expert Landscaping in Norfolk, VA

We design and install hardscapes with proper foundations and materials that can redirect or accommodate root growth. For areas with aggressive roots, we use techniques like reinforced bases or root barriers during walkway and patio construction. This creates a stable, beautiful surface that won't buckle or crack, solving the lawn damage while expanding your usable outdoor space.

Absolutely. Our landscape design process for Norfolk homes always considers irrigation efficiency. We'll map your existing coverage and design new planting beds, lawn areas, and hardscapes like patios or retaining walls to work with a logical, water-efficient irrigation zones. This eliminates gaps and overwatering, saving you water and creating a healthier, more uniform landscape.

Proper drainage is critical for any retaining wall in our area. We engineer our walls with built-in drainage systems (like gravel backfill and weep holes) to manage water runoff and relieve hydrostatic pressure. This design also helps mitigate the impact of nearby tree roots by managing soil moisture, making the structure more stable and protecting your lawn's health long-term.
