McDonald Garden Center: Trusted Landscaping Serving Poquoson, VA 23662

Our landscape designers conduct thorough site evaluations to identify grading problems that cause water to pool near your home's foundation or create uneven, soggy areas in your yard. We then create custom designs that incorporate proper slope adjustments, strategic planting beds, and drainage solutions like French drains or dry creek beds to redirect water flow away from your home. This not only protects your foundation from water damage but also creates a healthier, more usable lawn space.

We design and install efficient irrigation systems with high-quality components to minimize leaks, and we can retrofit existing systems with modern, durable parts. Our designs include proper zoning to match your landscape's water needs, pressure regulators to prevent pipe stress, and smart controllers that monitor for irregularities. We also provide maintenance plans to catch small issues before they become major leaks, helping you conserve water and prevent damage to your plants and property.

Absolutely. Our comprehensive landscape design approach looks at your entire property as an integrated system. We create plans that solve grading problems first—ensuring water flows properly—then design irrigation systems that work with the new grading, not against it. This coordinated approach prevents common issues like sprinklers watering areas that already drain poorly, and ensures your landscape remains healthy and beautiful while protecting your home from water-related damage.
