John Pelletier Construction: Expert Landscaping Services Serving Coventry, CT 06238

Standing water often stems from improper yard grading. We use precise excavation to re-grade your property, creating a gentle slope that directs water away from your home and foundations. For more persistent issues, we can excavate to install French drains or dry wells, channeling the water safely underground. This not only solves the puddle problem but also protects your home's structure and lawn health.

A properly dug trench is key for effective drainage. We carefully excavate trenches to the correct depth and slope, ensuring they lead from the problem area—like a saturated mulch bed—to a suitable discharge point, such as a storm drain or dry well. We then lay perforated pipe and gravel, creating a channel that collects and redirects excess water underground, keeping your mulch beds dry and weed-free.

Absolutely. As a full-service contractor, we go beyond just laying mulch. First, we address any underlying drainage issues that create damp conditions where weeds thrive. Then, we prepare the bed by removing old mulch and weeds, installing a quality landscape fabric barrier, and applying a fresh, deep layer of mulch. This comprehensive approach from excavation to finishing creates a healthier, more manageable landscape that resists weeds.
