Frequently Asked Questions
What specific solutions does Property First offer for poor lawn drainage and grading issues common in Saco?
Poor grading can lead to water pooling, foundation problems, and a soggy lawn. Our team addresses this by first assessing the slope and soil composition of your Saco property. We then perform professional regrading and, if needed, install French drains or other subsurface drainage systems to redirect water away from your home and lawn. This not only solves the immediate water issue but also creates a healthier foundation for your landscape.
Can you handle both the construction and sealing of a new driveway or patio?
Yes, absolutely. Property First provides a complete service, from the initial construction and installation of concrete or masonry features to their long-term protection. For a new driveway or patio, we handle the entire process: site preparation, forming, pouring, finishing, and curing. Once the surface is properly cured, we can apply a professional-grade sealant. This sealing step is crucial in Maine's climate to protect against freeze-thaw cycles, de-icing salts, and moisture, significantly extending the life and appearance of your investment.
Do you repair existing retaining walls, and how do you prevent future problems?
We frequently repair retaining walls that have cracked, bulged, or shifted due to soil pressure or weather. Our repair process involves stabilizing the structure, replacing damaged blocks or stones, and ensuring proper drainage behind the wall—a key failure point. To prevent future issues, we often recommend and install a new drainage system (like weep holes or gravel backfill) during the repair and apply a high-quality sealant to the surface to protect the masonry from water penetration and frost damage common in our Maine winters.
