R&J Landscape - Troy's Certified Landscapers

We start by assessing your yard's grading and soil composition, common issues in Troy due to clay-heavy soils. Our solutions often include regrading to create proper slope away from your home, installing French drains or dry wells to capture and redirect water, and improving soil drainage. This prevents water pooling, protects your foundation, and reduces mosquito breeding areas.

Lawn grading is reshaping your yard's surface to control water flow. In Troy, we often address negative grading where water runs toward foundations. We carefully adjust soil levels using local fill materials to create a gentle slope (typically 2-3% grade) directing water away from structures. This solves drainage issues while preserving your landscape's aesthetics.

Troy's seasonal rainfall and snowmelt can exacerbate drainage problems. Poor grading and standing water can lead to foundation cracks, basement flooding, soil erosion, and lawn disease. Our drainage solutions not only protect your home's structural integrity but also prevent ice buildup in winter and create safer, more usable yard space year-round.
