Questions and Answers
My yard in Chatham has standing water after rains. What's the best way to fix drainage problems?
Poor drainage is common in our area. We start by assessing your property's grading. Solutions often include expert earthmoving and regrading to direct water away from your home's foundation, installing French drains or dry creek beds, or constructing proper retaining walls. Correcting the drainage is a crucial first step before any new landscaping to ensure your investment lasts.
My shrubs keep dying. Can Hufnagle Construction help diagnose and fix the problem?
Absolutely. Dying shrubs can result from poor soil, incorrect planting, disease, or pests. Our landscaping services include soil analysis, expert shrub planting with proper compaction, and ongoing care like pruning, disease management, and insect control. If necessary, we can remove unhealthy plants, improve the soil, and install new, hardy shrubs suited for Chatham's climate to revive your landscape.
We want to add a patio but are worried about water pooling. How do you ensure a stable, dry foundation?
A stable base is key for any hardscape in Chatham. Our process begins with proper excavation and soil compaction to create a solid, level base that promotes drainage. We then install the patio with a slight slope and use permeable materials or gravel bases where appropriate to channel water away. This prevents settling and water damage, ensuring your new patio or walkway remains beautiful and functional for years.
