Questions and Answers

My shrubs keep dying even with regular watering. Could this be a grading or soil issue?

Absolutely. In the Dixon area, poor drainage or improper soil compaction from construction can create 'wet feet' for plants, leading to root rot, or prevent water from reaching roots at all. Our land grading and soil backfilling services correct the slope of your property to ensure proper water runoff, while our expert soil compaction creates a stable, healthy base for new landscaping. Often, fixing the grading is the key to solving persistent plant health problems.

My irrigation system's timer keeps failing. Can you help, or do I need a full system replacement?

We can certainly help! As local irrigation experts, we start with a diagnostic check of your entire system—timer, valves, lines, and sprinkler heads. Often, a timer failure is a simple electrical fix or a sign of a deeper issue like a wiring short caused by previous excavation. Our irrigation repair and maintenance service can usually restore your system efficiently. If a redesign is needed due to landscape changes, our irrigation design and construction service will create a more efficient, reliable system tailored to your Dixon property.

I want to install a new patio but am worried about drainage and a stable base. What's your process?

A stable, long-lasting patio starts below the surface. Our process begins with expert excavation and land grading to establish the correct slope away from your home. We then perform precise soil compaction to create an immovable base that won't shift or settle. Finally, we handle the patio construction or installation using quality materials. This comprehensive approach, from ground-up preparation to finished installation, is why Dixon homeowners trust us to build outdoor features that look great and function perfectly for years, avoiding common water pooling and cracking issues.
