Gross Excavating and Landscaping | Excavation Services & Landscaping in Denton Township, MI 48651

Standing water often occurs due to improper grading or poor drainage. Our excavation services include regrading your property to create proper slopes that direct water away from your home and low-lying areas. We also dig trenches for French drains or other drainage systems that channel excess water to appropriate discharge points. This prevents water accumulation that can damage foundations, kill grass, and create mosquito breeding grounds common in our local climate.

We specialize in trench digging for various drainage solutions tailored to Denton Township properties. This includes installing perforated pipe systems in gravel-filled trenches that collect and redirect groundwater, creating swales (shallow trenches) that guide surface water away from problem areas, and digging trenches for downspout extensions that move roof runoff away from your foundation. Proper trenching prevents the soil saturation that leads to those persistent wet spots many local homeowners experience.

Absolutely. While we don't apply chemicals, our excavation and landscaping services address the root causes of weed problems. We properly prepare beds by removing existing weeds and their roots through excavation, then install quality landscape fabric barriers before adding mulch. We also create defined bed edges with trenches that prevent grass and weeds from encroaching. For severe cases, we can regrade areas to improve drainage since excessively wet mulch beds actually encourage weed growth—a common issue with our local soil conditions.
