John Rich Landscaping | Drainage & Weed Control Experts in Pomfret Center, CT

Standing water often points to grading or drainage issues common in our area. We assess your property's slope and soil composition to recommend solutions like regrading, installing French drains, or creating dry creek beds. The right fix not only eliminates puddles but also protects your lawn's health and your home's foundation from water damage.

Effective weed control starts with proper bed preparation. We remove existing weeds, apply a quality landscape fabric barrier where appropriate, and install a thick layer of fresh mulch. For long-term prevention in Pomfret, we recommend using pre-emergent treatments in early spring and maintaining a consistent mulch depth of 2-3 inches to block sunlight from reaching weed seeds.

Absolutely. Many Pomfret properties need integrated solutions. We can design a landscape plan that incorporates functional drainage, like a swale disguised as a planting bed or a rain garden that manages runoff while adding beauty. This approach solves the water issue and enhances your yard's overall look with plants suited to our local climate.
