G&G Landscaping & Construction | Expert Landscaping in Chillicothe, OH

The first step is a professional site evaluation. We'll assess the soil composition, identify low spots, and check the grading around your home's foundation. For many Chillicothe properties, the solution involves a combination of regrading to create positive slope away from the house and installing a subsurface drainage system, like a French drain, to capture and redirect excess groundwater effectively.

In most cases, severely compacted soil in our area can be rehabilitated without full replacement. We use core aeration to relieve compaction, allowing water, air, and nutrients to reach the root zone. We then amend the soil with organic material to improve its structure and health long-term. This process is crucial for solving drainage issues and establishing a resilient, healthy lawn.

Proper grading and strategic hardscaping are key. We regrade the soil to create a gentle slope away from your foundation. Additionally, we can install solutions like a dry well to collect downspout runoff, permeable pavers for patios or walkways that allow water to seep through, and strategically placed landscaping beds with absorbent plants. This multi-layered approach protects your home's structural integrity.
