Absolutely. Poor grading is a primary cause of standing water. Our landscape design service starts with a site analysis to identify low spots and water flow issues. We then create a custom design that includes strategic regrading, the addition of swales or dry creek beds, and proper soil amendments to redirect water away from your home and lawn, solving the drainage problem at its source.

Our lawn care goes beyond mowing. For drainage issues common in Forest Grove, we perform core aeration to relieve soil compaction, allowing water to penetrate deeper instead of pooling on the surface. We also use specialized overseeding with grass varieties suited for our local wet conditions and can adjust your irrigation schedule to prevent overwatering, which exacerbates standing water problems.

Yes, significantly. Overgrown or improperly placed tree roots can disrupt soil structure and block natural drainage paths. Our tree care services include professional pruning to manage canopy density (allowing more sunlight to dry the soil) and root management. In some cases, we may recommend strategic tree removal or relocation to correct severe grading and water retention issues, improving overall yard health.
