Questions and Answers
How can JM Construction fix standing water and drainage problems in my Olympia yard?
We address standing water, a common issue in our area, by first assessing your property's grading. Our earthmoving and regrading services can create the proper slope to direct water away from your home and foundations. We often combine this with the installation of French drains, dry wells, or strategically placed retaining walls. For a complete solution, our irrigation design includes drainage systems to manage excess rainwater, protecting your landscaping and preventing soggy, unusable areas in your yard.
What landscaping services do you offer to combat persistent weeds in Olympia?
Our approach to weed control starts with proper landscape construction and installation. We prepare beds with quality barriers and soil, and install healthy shrubs and greenscapes that outcompete weeds. Our ongoing landscape maintenance, shrub care, and lawn care programs include targeted treatments for weed, disease, and insect management. For severe cases, we can perform shrub or tree removal and replant with low-maintenance, weed-resistant native species suited to our local climate, giving you a beautiful, manageable yard.
Can you handle both a home addition and the surrounding landscaping to improve drainage?
Absolutely. As a full-service general contractor and landscaper, we specialize in integrated projects. If you're adding a new room, guest house (ADU), or deck, we ensure the new structure's foundation and exterior walls are properly integrated with the site. We then design and execute the surrounding patio, walkway, and landscape construction to ensure positive drainage away from all structures. This seamless coordination between our building and landscaping teams prevents future water issues and creates a cohesive, functional, and attractive property.
