Johnston's Landscaping: Licensed Landscaping Services Serving Gaylord, MI 49734

In our area, poor grading often leads to water pooling and soil erosion. A properly engineered retaining wall does more than just hold back soil—it's a key tool for managing water flow. We design and construct walls with integrated drainage systems to redirect runoff, stabilize slopes, and prevent the washouts that are common after heavy Northern Michigan storms, protecting your foundation and landscape.

Absolutely. A common issue we see is driveways installed without proper base preparation or grading, leading to ruts and pooling. Our driveway construction focuses on creating a stable, crowned surface with adequate subsurface drainage. We use materials and techniques suited for our freeze-thaw cycles, ensuring water sheds away from the pavement and your home's foundation, making your entrance more durable and safer year-round.

A solid, well-installed patio creates a defined, cleanable surface that simplifies storm cleanup. Instead of dealing with mud and scattered debris across your lawn, you can easily sweep or wash the patio clear. We construct patios with proper slope and base materials that prevent sinking and puddling, turning a problematic area into a low-maintenance outdoor living space that stands up to our local weather.
