Genes Residential Excavating - Muskegon's Best Landscaping

Absolutely. We frequently address these local challenges. Shifting rock gardens often indicate underlying drainage or grading issues common in our soil types. We can regrade the area and install proper drainage solutions, like a French drain, to stabilize it. For lawn fungus, which thrives in our humid lakeside climate, our shrub and lawn care services include disease management. We identify the specific fungus, apply targeted treatments, and can advise on or install improved irrigation to prevent overwatering, which is a key contributor. Correcting the foundation through grading often helps resolve surface issues like fungus long-term.

Yes, we provide a complete, integrated service. Our process starts with expert site preparation, including any necessary land clearing, grading, and excavation to create a stable base. We then construct the retaining wall, ensuring proper drainage and backfill to prevent future shifting. Finally, we install your patio, walkways, or other hardscape features. Handling all phases ourselves ensures seamless coordination, consistent quality, and that each element—from the foundational excavation to the final paving stone—is built to work together correctly and durably.

Proper site preparation is crucial for a stable foundation. Our service begins with land clearing to remove trees, stumps, and debris. We then perform precise land grading and earthmoving to establish the correct slope for drainage away from the home's footprint, a critical step given our local precipitation. This includes trench digging for utilities and often involves building initial retaining walls if your lot has elevation changes. We ensure the site is perfectly level and compacted, providing a solid, well-drained base for your builders. Our 40+ years of experience with West Michigan soils mean we know how to prepare your land to protect your investment from the start.
