J.W.C. Home Services - Newton's Reliable Landscapers

Tree roots often surface and damage lawns when they're searching for water. Frequently, this is caused by water pooling near the foundation due to clogged, leaking, or improperly sloped gutters. Our gutter installation and replacement services ensure rainwater is channeled well away from your home's foundation. This directs water away from tree root zones, which can help reduce surface rooting and protect your landscaping from further damage.

Absolutely. During a roof inspection, we don't just look for missing shingles. We check the entire drainage system, including the gutters, downspouts, and the roof's edge (drip edge). Problems like damaged flashing or sagging gutters can cause water to cascade down your siding and pool around your foundation, leading to those frustrating dead, soggy, or eroded patches in your lawn. Identifying and fixing these issues protects both your roof and your yard.

That's a common issue here in Newton. First, check that your downspouts extend at least 5-6 feet away from your foundation. If they do, the next likely culprit is underground. We recommend a gutter inspection. The problem could be a hidden leak at a seam, a gutter that's lost its proper pitch, or a downspout that's clogged below the elbow. Our gutter services include diagnosing these hidden issues to ensure water is properly diverted, helping your lawn recover.
