Yes, absolutely. Standing water is a common issue in our area, often caused by improper grading. We start by assessing your yard's slope and drainage patterns. Our earthmoving and regrading services can reshape the land to direct water away from your home and foundation, often integrating solutions like French drains or dry wells. For a complete fix, we can also design and install a new irrigation system to manage water distribution efficiently, preventing future pooling.

Regrading involves carefully moving soil to create a new, proper slope for drainage. This is crucial for preventing water damage to hardscapes like patios, walkways, and retaining walls, which can sink or crack if the base is unstable. Our process ensures water flows away from these structures. We often combine regrading with patio or walkway construction or repair, using quality materials and techniques to build a stable, long-lasting foundation that complements the new yard grading.

We can. Constantly wet soil leads to root rot and disease in shrubs. After correcting the drainage issue through regrading, we provide full shrub care. This includes assessing the health of existing plants, managing any diseases or pests, and professional pruning. For areas that remain challenging, we can recommend and plant water-tolerant species or transplant struggling shrubs to a better location, ensuring your landscape is healthy and thrives after the drainage work is complete.
