Landscaping & Drainage Solutions in Lenzburg, IL | Cornerstone Construction

Proper grading and hardscaping are key. We use masonry and concrete to construct functional solutions like channel drains, French drain systems with gravel and catch basins, and graded patios or walkways that direct water away from your home's foundation. These permanent structures effectively manage stormwater runoff, a common issue in our area, preventing erosion and soggy lawns.

While reseeding helps, dead spots often point to underlying issues like compacted soil, poor drainage, or uneven grading. Our approach combines landscaping with construction expertise. We first diagnose and correct the root cause—such as regrading the area or improving subsoil drainage—then renovate the lawn. This ensures a healthy, lasting lawn rather than a temporary fix.

In landscaping, 'tiling' often refers to installing subsurface drainage tile (perforated pipe). This is a crucial service for Lenzburg properties with persistent wetness. We trench and lay this tile system to intercept groundwater and redirect it away from problem areas, such as your lawn or basement. It's a foundational fix that works with other landscaping and masonry features to create a dry, stable yard.
