Mercer’s Earthmoving & Lawn Care - Central City's Local Landscaping

Poor drainage often comes from compacted soil or an uneven yard slope. Our excavation and earthmoving services allow us to regrade your property, creating the proper slope to direct water away from your home's foundation. We can also dig precise trenches to install French drains or other drainage systems, solving the standing water issues common in our local clay-heavy soils.

Absolutely. First, our excavation team safely removes the problematic roots that are causing damage and creating tripping hazards. Once the area is cleared and the ground is leveled, our lawn care experts take over. We'll bring in fresh topsoil, grade the area, and re-sod or seed it to seamlessly blend with your existing healthy grass, restoring both safety and curb appeal.

Excavation is broader, used for larger areas like site prep or regrading an entire yard. Trench digging is a precise, narrow excavation for installing utilities, drainage pipes, or irrigation lines. For Central City homeowners dealing with drainage, we often use both: general excavation to regrade the land's surface and trenching to bury the pipes that carry the water away, providing a layered solution.
