Experienced Landscaping in Tacoma, WA 98443 - Rob Wilson's 2nd second chances

Absolutely. Shifting rock gardens are a common issue in our area, often due to improper base preparation or drainage. We solve this by first assessing and correcting any underlying drainage problems with earthmoving or regrading. We then rebuild the garden using proper techniques, which may include installing a stable gravel base, compacting the soil, and integrating retaining walls to hold everything in place. This creates a beautiful, low-maintenance feature that won't wash away.

Effective drainage solutions start with a professional assessment. We look at your yard's slope, soil type, and where water pools. Common fixes we provide include strategic regrading to direct water away from your foundation, installing French drains or dry wells, and building retaining walls to manage soil erosion. For a complete solution, we can integrate these fixes into a new landscape design with proper irrigation, patios, and walkways that both look great and handle our Northwest rain.

Yes, that's a smart concern. A patio installed without considering drainage can lead to major problems. When we construct patios, walkways, or driveways in Tacoma, drainage is a core part of the design. We ensure the base is properly graded and compacted, and we often use permeable materials or design subtle slopes to channel water away. By combining our landscape construction and earthmoving services, we build outdoor living spaces that are not only attractive and durable but also proactively solve water management issues.
