Kamp Masonry and Landscaping - Portland's Experienced Landscapers

In Portland's climate, standing water and soggy soil are prime causes of moss and drainage issues. Our land grading and earthmoving services create the correct slope away from your home's foundation. This redirects surface water to appropriate drainage areas, eliminating the constant moisture that moss thrives on and solving pooling that damages lawns and landscapes.

Proper site preparation is key for long-term success. We start with land clearing to remove debris and obstacles, followed by excavation and precise grading to establish the optimal base elevation. We then perform soil backfilling and compaction to create a stable, well-draining sub-base. This process ensures your new lawn, patio, or landscape feature won't settle unevenly or become a water collection point.

Trench digging is often necessary for installing subsurface drainage solutions like French drains or downspout extensions. If regrading alone can't fully manage water runoff—common on flat lots or properties with heavy clay soil—we dig trenches to lay perforated pipe that collects and redirects groundwater away from problem areas, protecting your foundation and eliminating soggy spots in your yard.
