Landscaping Freeport IL | Call Plum Creek Services

Poor drainage often stems from improper grading or clogged systems. Our handyman team assesses your property's slope, identifies low spots where water pools, and provides solutions. This can include regrading the soil to direct water away from your foundation, installing or repairing French drains and catch basins, and clearing blocked downspouts. We tackle the practical fixes that prevent water damage and create a healthier, drier yard.

Lawn grading is the process of shaping your yard's soil to create the proper slope away from your home's foundation. In Freeport, where heavy rains and clay soils are common, incorrect grading is a primary cause of basement leaks and soggy lawns. Our service involves carefully moving and compacting soil to establish a gentle, consistent slope. This crucial step ensures surface water drains properly, protecting your home's structure and eliminating standing water that damages grass.
