G A S Landscaping Services | Certified Landscapers in Glen Cove, NY

Poor drainage is a common issue in our area due to the local soil composition. The most effective long-term solution is professional regrading or earthmoving. We assess the slope and flow of your entire property to create a new grade that directs water away from your home and foundation. Often, we integrate this with a new drainage system or dry creek bed as part of a landscape construction plan, permanently solving the puddling and protecting your lawn and landscaping.

A shifting retaining wall is a serious issue that needs immediate attention to prevent collapse. We'll conduct a thorough inspection to determine the cause—often it's due to improper drainage behind the wall or foundation issues. For minor problems, we can often repair and reinforce the existing structure. However, for safety and longevity in Glen Cove's climate, a complete rebuild with proper drainage gravel and a solid base is frequently the most reliable solution. We handle all aspects of exterior wall construction to ensure it's built to last.

That's a smart concern. For durable patio, walkway, and driveway construction in Glen Cove, proper base preparation is everything. We excavate to the correct depth and install a compacted base of gravel and sand that allows for drainage and resists shifting during freeze-thaw cycles. For the surface, we use interlocking pavers or materials set with flexible joints, which are more forgiving than solid concrete. This method, combined with our expert grading to ensure water runs off, creates a beautiful and long-lasting outdoor living space that stands up to our local weather.
