HL Ostermiller Construction | Certified Landscaping in Billings, MT

Standing water often stems from poor grading or non-porous surfaces. We use concrete and masonry work to create positive drainage solutions. This can include installing a new concrete patio or walkway with a slight slope away from your home, building functional and attractive retaining walls to manage elevation changes, or constructing permeable pavers that allow water to drain through, effectively channeling water away from problem areas and protecting your foundation.

Bare patches are often a symptom of compacted soil, poor drainage, or uneven terrain. Our landscaping process starts with diagnosing the root cause. We then provide expert grading and soil amendment to create a healthy base. From there, we can install new sod, hydroseed, or recommend drought-resistant native plants that thrive in Billings' climate. Proper grading ensures water is distributed evenly, not pooled or run off, giving your new grass the best chance to establish a thick, green lawn.

Absolutely. A holistic approach is key for lasting results. We frequently design and build integrated solutions, such as a dry creek bed (landscaping) that directs water to a French drain system (hardscaping), or a new paver patio (masonry) surrounded by raised planting beds (landscaping) with improved soil. This not only solves the functional issue of standing water but also transforms the problematic area into a beautiful, low-maintenance feature that adds value and enjoyment to your property.
