Platinum Concrete & Hardscapes: Licensed Landscaping Serving Newport, NC 28570

Many yards in our area stay wet due to clay-heavy soil and flat terrain, which creates a perfect environment for fungus. We design and install patios and walkways with proper slope and sub-base materials to channel rainwater away from your lawn. Using permeable paving options can also allow water to drain through the surface, reducing standing water and the moisture that fuels lawn diseases right at the source.

Not when done correctly. In fact, a professionally installed hardscape from our team can be part of the solution. We address soil compaction during site preparation by ensuring proper grading and often incorporating drainage systems like French drains or gravel bases beneath the hardscape. This relieves pressure on the surrounding soil and improves overall water movement, preventing further compaction in your remaining lawn areas.

For our humid, coastal environment, we often recommend permeable pavers or certain patterned concrete systems. These materials are excellent for managing the heavy rain we can get, as they allow water to seep through and reduce runoff. They are also highly resistant to salt air and moisture. During your consultation, we'll assess your specific property's drainage challenges and recommend the most durable and effective material for your needs and budget.
