McNeil Excavation - Concord's Certified Landscaping

Patchy grass is often caused by poor soil conditions, including compaction, rocks, and improper grading, which prevent roots from establishing. Our excavation service removes debris, levels the ground, and prepares a proper sub-base. This creates an even, nutrient-rich foundation for new sod or seed, ensuring your lawn grows in thick and healthy across your entire yard.

For yards that stay wet, we typically recommend installing a French drain. This involves digging a deep, sloped trench, lining it with gravel and a perforated pipe, and covering it with soil. The trench and pipe system collects excess groundwater and surface runoff, channeling it safely away from your home's foundation and low-lying areas, effectively solving your drainage problem.

Absolutely. A common fix is to dig a shallow trench from your downspout to a safe discharge point, like a dry well or a sloped area of your yard. We line this trench with a solid drainage pipe (like a downspout extension) to carry rainwater away from your foundation. This prevents soil erosion, basement moisture, and those muddy patches that ruin your landscaping.
