Trusted Landscaping in Matteson, IL 60443 - Rickey's Landscaping

The first step is a professional assessment of your lawn's grading. We'll identify the low spots and how water flows across your property. Often, the solution involves regrading the lawn to create a gentle slope away from your home's foundation, which is a common and effective fix for many Matteson yards with poor drainage.

It depends on the severity. For many Matteson homes, strategic landscaping like regrading, creating swales (shallow ditches), and using moisture-tolerant plants in rain gardens can effectively manage water. For more severe or persistent standing water, we may recommend a subsurface solution like a French drain, which we can seamlessly integrate into your landscape design.

Our goal is minimal disruption. While regrading does involve moving soil, we carefully work around established plants where possible and use techniques to preserve your lawn's health. We'll discuss a plan to efficiently correct the grading and then quickly re-establish your grass or install new sod, so your yard is back to looking great—and dry—as soon as possible.
