Resilient Homes | Reliable Landscaping Services in Arlington, VA

Poor drainage is a common issue in our area that can lead to basement flooding and foundation problems. At Resilient Homes, we start with a site assessment to identify the water flow. Solutions often include strategic earthmoving and regrading to slope the yard away from your foundation, installing French drains or dry wells, and building retaining walls to manage soil erosion. Properly addressing drainage is the first step in effective waterproofing and preserving your home's structural integrity.

Absolutely. We frequently repair faulty irrigation timers, broken sprinkler heads, and leaky lines for Arlington homeowners. During a repair visit, we can also assess if your system is inefficient. Upgrading to a smart, weather-based controller or re-zoning your layout can significantly reduce water waste, lower your bills, and keep your landscape healthy, which is especially valuable during our dry spells and local watering restrictions.

The key is proper base preparation and slope, which we specialize in. For patios and walkways, we ensure a compacted gravel base and correct grading so water drains away from your home's foundation and off the surface. Using quality masonry and concrete, along with effective sealing, creates a durable surface resistant to our freeze-thaw cycles. We integrate these hardscapes into your overall landscape design to solve drainage issues while enhancing your outdoor living space.
