Questions and Answers
Can building an addition or new structure help with my yard's drainage and bare spots?
Yes, absolutely. A key part of our construction process for any addition, deck, or detached garage in Altona is proper site preparation and grading. We ensure the land is shaped to direct water away from your new structure and your home's foundation, which can significantly improve overall yard drainage. This helps eliminate standing water that leads to those soggy, bare patches and creates a more stable base for healthy grass to grow around your new space.
We want to build a garage addition but are worried about damaging our sprinkler system. How do you handle that?
Protecting your existing lawn irrigation is a standard part of our planning. Before any excavation for a garage addition, deck, or ADU, we will locate and map out all sprinkler lines. We can either temporarily cap and reroute lines during construction or work with you to plan a new, more efficient sprinkler layout as part of the project, ensuring your entire property, including new landscaped areas, gets proper coverage without gaps.
If I'm adding a bedroom or guest house (ADU), does that include work on the surrounding lawn?
Our service is comprehensive. While our primary focus is on the construction itself, we always return the immediate site to a rough-graded, clean state. For ADUs, detached garages, and room additions, this means carefully backfilling, grading the soil to blend with your yard, and removing all construction debris. This prepares the area for you to easily lay new sod or seed, directly addressing those bare patches that often appear after construction and helping you achieve a seamless, finished look for your Altona property.
