The best solution depends on your yard's specific grading and soil. We typically start with a site assessment to identify the cause. Common fixes for our area include installing French drains to channel water away, creating dry creek beds that also add landscape interest, or regrading the soil to improve natural runoff. Our goal is a permanent solution that prevents water from pooling near your foundation.

In Hamburg's climate, freeze-thaw cycles and improper base installation are common culprits. Shifting often happens when rocks are placed directly on soil without a stable foundation of compacted gravel and landscape fabric to prevent weed growth and soil erosion. We repair shifting rock gardens by resetting the stones on a properly prepared base, ensuring they stay beautiful and in place for years.

Absolutely. We often integrate drainage solutions directly into new landscape features. For example, we can design a rock garden or a decorative dry stream bed that also serves as a functional channel for excess rainwater. This approach solves the water issue while enhancing your yard's aesthetics, giving you a practical and attractive landscape tailored to Hamburg's conditions.
