Donnelly's Landscaping - Andrews's Emergency Landscaping

Absolutely. Standing water is a frequent issue in Andrews due to our soil composition and flat terrain. We start with a thorough site evaluation to identify the cause, whether it's improper grading or compacted soil. Solutions often include regrading the lawn to create a gentle slope away from your home, installing French drains to capture and redirect subsurface water, or creating dry creek beds and rain gardens that are both functional and attractive. Our goal is to give you a dry, healthy yard that can handle our local rainfall.

Professional grading is a precise process to ensure water flows correctly. We'll assess your property's current slope and drainage patterns. Using specialized equipment, we carefully reshape the soil to establish a minimum slope of 2% away from your foundation. This often involves moving and compacting soil, addressing low spots, and ensuring the final grade integrates seamlessly with your existing landscape. Proper grading is the most effective long-term defense against the standing water and foundation issues common in our community.

We aim to be as minimally disruptive as possible. While some excavation is necessary for solutions like French drains, our team is meticulous about protecting your property. We carefully plan the work to preserve healthy plants and turf, and we always restore the area once the drainage system is installed. For many properties, we can even incorporate the solution into an enhanced landscape design, turning a problem area into a beautiful feature of your yard.
