Question Answers
My yard in Gainesville has standing water and moss. Can you fix the drainage?
Yes, absolutely. Standing water and moss are common signs of poor drainage in our area. We address this by first evaluating your yard's slope and soil. Our services include earthmoving and regrading to create the proper slope away from your home, installing French drains or other drainage systems, and constructing functional yet attractive retaining walls to manage water flow. Correcting the drainage is the first step to eliminating moss and creating a healthy foundation for your lawn.
Do you offer solutions to prevent moss from taking over my lawn again?
We do. After correcting any underlying drainage issues, our comprehensive lawn care program is key to prevention. This includes proper aeration, balanced fertilization tailored to North Georgia soil, and overseeding with grass varieties that thrive in our climate and outcompete moss. We also provide expert shrub and tree care to ensure your entire landscape is healthy and well-maintained, reducing the damp, shaded conditions where moss thrives.
Can you install outdoor lighting in a yard that has had drainage work?
Certainly. In fact, integrating lighting with your drainage and landscaping plan is a smart approach. Our licensed electricians handle all outdoor lighting installation and repair. We can strategically place path lights along new walkways, accent lights on retaining walls, and overall safety lighting in areas that were previously wet or problematic. We coordinate the electrical work seamlessly with our construction team to ensure a beautiful, safe, and functional end result for your Gainesville home.
