Landscapers Pleasant Grove AL | Call Ricks Landscaping

Poor grading directs water toward your home's foundation instead of away from it. Over time, this can lead to basement flooding, foundation cracks, and soil erosion around your property. Our grading corrections ensure proper slope and drainage to protect your home's structure and prevent costly water damage, a common issue in our local soil conditions.

Moss thrives in our area due to shade, compacted soil, poor drainage, and low soil pH. Simply removing it isn't enough. We address the root causes by aerating compacted soil, correcting drainage issues, applying soil amendments to balance pH, and thinning tree canopies to increase sunlight. Then, we overseed with shade-tolerant grass varieties to outcompete future moss growth.

Our process starts with a detailed assessment of your yard's slope and drainage patterns. We then carefully redistribute topsoil to create the correct grade—typically a slope of 1-2% away from your home. We ensure proper integration with existing drainage systems, level uneven areas for safety and mowing, and finish by reseeding or sodding to establish a healthy, stable lawn that handles Pleasant Grove's rainfall effectively.
