Questions and Answers
What's the best way to fix standing water in my East Falmouth yard?
The most effective solution is installing a proper drainage system, like a French drain or dry well, combined with strategic regrading. We assess your yard's specific slope and soil composition—common here on the Cape—to redirect water away from your home and low-lying areas, solving the puddling issue at its source and protecting your foundation.
Why are my shrubs dying even with regular watering?
In East Falmouth, this is often caused by 'wet feet' from poor drainage or compacted, unhealthy soil that suffocates roots. Simply adding more water makes it worse. We diagnose the problem by checking soil health and drainage, then remedy it with aeration, soil amendments, and sometimes replacing plants with native species better suited to our local conditions.
Can you fix both drainage and hardscape issues, like a sunken patio?
Absolutely. These problems are often connected. A sunken patio or walkway frequently indicates underlying soil erosion or water damage. Our masonry and concrete expertise allows us to not only repair or replace the hardscape but first correct the drainage issue that caused the settlement, ensuring a durable, long-term fix for your East Falmouth home.
