Common Questions
My yard in Swartz Creek has soggy spots that kill the grass. Can you help?
Absolutely. Standing water and poor drainage are common issues in our area due to soil composition and grading. We address this through expert land grading and regrading services to create proper slope away from your home and foundation. For more persistent issues, we can install French drains or dry wells as part of our trench digging and excavation work to redirect subsurface water away from problem areas, promoting a healthier, drier lawn.
What's involved in your site preparation for a new patio or landscape feature?
Proper site preparation is crucial for longevity. Our process typically includes land clearing of debris and vegetation, precise excavation and grading to establish a stable, level base with correct drainage, and soil compaction. For hardscape projects like patios, we also handle masonry and concrete removal of old surfaces. We ensure the ground is perfectly prepared to support your new construction or installation, preventing future settling or water issues.
Do you handle irrigation system installation and repairs?
Yes, we provide full irrigation services. For new systems, our excavation and trench digging capabilities allow us to install efficient underground networks tailored to your landscape's layout. We also offer repair and maintenance for existing systems, fixing broken lines, adjusting sprinkler heads, and optimizing zones to ensure your lawn and plants in Swartz Creek receive the right amount of water without waste.
