Landscapers East Alton IL | Call Jon Cadaret Custom Designs and Builds

As a general contractor, we assess your yard's grading and drainage patterns to identify the root cause of standing water. We then implement solutions like regrading the land, installing French drains or dry wells, and creating proper slopes to direct water away from your home. This prevents water pooling, protects your foundation, and creates a drier, more usable outdoor space.

We address patchy lawns by first testing your soil—common East Alton soil issues include compaction or poor drainage. Our services may include core aeration to improve air and water flow, overseeding with hardy grass varieties suited to our local climate, and applying targeted fertilizers. We also address underlying issues like shade or irrigation problems to ensure your lawn grows thick and green.

Absolutely. We integrate functional drainage solutions—like discreet channel drains or swales—into custom landscape designs. For example, we might regrade a soggy area to create a dry, level patio space while redirecting water to a rain garden. This approach solves standing water issues while enhancing your yard's beauty and usability, all in one coordinated project.
