Oneal Concrete & Design - Gardendale's Reliable Landscaping Services

Retaining walls are a highly effective solution for controlling soil erosion, a common issue in our area. We design and build sturdy walls that hold back soil on sloped properties, preventing washouts during heavy rains. This not only protects your landscape and foundation but also creates level areas for patios, gardens, or other usable space. Proper installation is key to longevity, which is why we ensure expert grading and drainage behind the wall.

Absolutely. While a patio or walkway provides a solid surface for entertainment and foot traffic, the professional installation process itself helps. We properly prepare the base with gravel for drainage, which can break up and aerate the surrounding compacted subsoil. Furthermore, by directing traffic to defined hardscapes, you reduce foot traffic on your lawn, giving the grass a chance to recover and reducing further soil compaction in your Gardendale yard.

Yes, that's a primary goal of our landscape construction in Gardendale. Beyond just planting, we address the root cause by regrading problem areas to direct water away from your home, installing French drains or dry creek beds, and using permeable materials where appropriate. By combining functional drainage solutions with attractive features like patios and walkways, we create a landscape that is both beautiful and resilient against our local weather patterns.
