Hobby Acres - Glenwood City's Licensed Landscaping Services

Frost damage often occurs when water pools and freezes in low spots. Our land grading creates a gentle slope away from your home and foundation, ensuring proper water runoff. We then use soil compaction to create a stable, even base for your lawn. This combination prevents water from collecting and freezing in one area, protecting your grass roots and significantly reducing the risk of frost heave and winter kill common in our local climate.

Absolutely. Frost heave is a frequent issue here. Simply replacing the edging often leads to repeat damage. We address the root cause by first excavating the affected area. We then perform proper backfilling and compaction of the soil beneath and around the edging to create a solid, stable base that resists shifting during freeze-thaw cycles. This expert preparation ensures your new or repaired landscape edging stays level and secure for seasons to come.

Our site preparation for sheds, patios, or other projects in Glenwood City starts with careful land clearing and excavation to establish the correct elevation. A key step is regrading the surrounding area to direct water away from the new structure and your home's foundation. By integrating proper drainage planning from the start and using compacted, stable fill material, we build a site that withstands our weather, preventing water intrusion and the soil erosion that can lead to landscape damage.
