FAQs
We have persistent yard drainage and pooling water issues in our Auburn yard. Can you help?
Absolutely. Poor drainage is a common challenge in our area due to soil composition and grading. We address this by first assessing your property's specific grading and water flow. Solutions often include strategic earthmoving and regrading to direct water away from your foundation, installing French drains or dry wells, and integrating proper drainage into new patio or walkway installations. Our decades of local experience mean we know how to create effective, lasting drainage systems suited to Auburn's conditions.
What's involved in your driveway construction service?
Our driveway construction is a thorough process. It begins with proper excavation and preparation of the base, which is critical for longevity, especially with our New England freeze-thaw cycles. We handle all aspects, from removing old material and ensuring stable, compacted subgrades to installing the final paving or aggregate surface. We also integrate proper drainage solutions to prevent water damage. With Mark's experience since the 1980s, we focus on building a driveway that is not only functional but also durable enough to withstand local weather for years to come.
Do you offer complete landscaping design and construction, or just maintenance?
We provide a full-service approach. Our team can start from a blank slate with custom landscape design, creating a plan for patios, walkways, retaining walls, and plantings. Then, we handle all the construction and installation ourselves. Once your new landscape is in place, we offer ongoing maintenance—from lawn care and shrub pruning to irrigation system upkeep—to keep it looking its best. This seamless service from design through long-term care ensures consistency and quality for your Auburn property.
