Absolutely. This is a common issue in Ithaca. We start by carefully removing any remaining roots and debris through our land clearing and excavation services.

Finally, we can install new sod or oversee lawn care to restore a healthy, level green space that's ready for enjoyment.

Persistent leaks often point to underlying issues like soil settlement or root intrusion. Our process involves trench digging to fully expose the irrigation line, diagnosing the exact problem, and performing a lasting repair. More importantly, we address the root cause by properly backfilling and compacting the soil around the new line to prevent future shifting and leaks, saving you water and further yard damage.

Yes, and we highly recommend it for long-term stability. We specialize in constructing durable retaining walls from masonry or concrete, which are ideal for managing hillside erosion and creating usable flat areas for patios, walkways, or gardens. This not only solves the erosion problem but also enhances your landscape, prevents damage to your foundation, and can protect existing trees and irrigation systems from soil washout.
