Certified Landscaping in Bernardsville, NJ 07924 - Madlinger Exterior Design

Absolutely. Standing water is often a grading or drainage issue. Our landscape design process starts with a thorough site analysis to identify the water flow problem. We then create a custom plan that may include re-grading, installing French drains, dry creek beds, or rain gardens to channel water away from your home and lawn. This corrects the environment that allows moss to thrive and creates a healthier, drier yard foundation.

Proper lighting and sometimes powered drainage are key to a functional solution. For a wet area, we might recommend and install a submersible pump in a drainage basin, which requires safe, outdoor-rated electrical installation. Furthermore, installing landscape lighting in previously dark, damp areas discourages moss growth by increasing sunlight exposure (via timed lighting that mimics day) and improves usability and safety. Our licensed electricians handle all aspects, from repair to new installation, ensuring everything is up to code and safe for our NJ climate.

As a single-source provider in Bernardsville, we ensure your lighting is seamlessly integrated into the overall design from the start. This means light fixtures are placed to highlight architectural and planting features effectively, and wiring is planned during the landscape design phase to be hidden and protected. For problem areas, we can design the layout to ensure light reaches shadowy, damp spots. Handling both eliminates coordination issues between separate contractors, guarantees a cohesive look, and often saves time and money.
