Common Questions

What is included in your full-site preparation service for a new home build in Charleston?

Our full-site preparation is a comprehensive process designed for the unique soil conditions in the Lowcountry. It begins with professional land clearing and tree removal, followed by precise land grading and compaction to establish proper drainage away from your future home's foundation. We then handle excavation for utilities, driveway and walkway base preparation, and the construction of necessary retaining walls. This disciplined, step-by-step approach, rooted in our military background, ensures your property is perfectly prepared for construction, helping to prevent future issues with settling or water intrusion.

My Charleston yard has poor drainage and soggy areas after rain. Can you help?

Yes, addressing drainage is a critical part of our land grading and site preparation services. We assess your property's specific topography and soil composition to design a solution. This often involves strategic regrading to direct water flow, installing French drains or dry creek beds, and integrating proper soil compaction. For landscape projects, we can design and install irrigation systems that work with the natural drainage, avoiding overwatering in low-lying areas. Our goal is to create a stable, functional yard that handles Charleston's rainfall effectively.

Can you diagnose and fix common local irrigation problems like timer failures or dry spots?

Absolutely. As part of our irrigation design, construction, and maintenance services, we routinely troubleshoot these very issues for Charleston homeowners. Timer failures are often due to weather exposure or power surges common in our coastal climate; we repair or replace components as needed. For dry spots or coverage gaps, we perform a full system audit, checking sprinkler head alignment for obstructions like new plant growth, evaluating water pressure, and adjusting zones to ensure even coverage across your specific landscape. We provide clear, practical solutions to keep your system running efficiently.
