SiteOne Hardscape Center - Visalia's Licensed Landscapers

For stability in our local clay and compacted soils, we recommend interlocking concrete pavers and segmental retaining wall units. These systems are engineered to flex slightly with ground movement without cracking, unlike poured concrete. Using a proper gravel base and geogrid reinforcement is also crucial for long-term stability in Visalia yards.

Compacted soil is a common issue here that leads to poor drainage. Solutions start with using permeable base materials like crushed gravel under patios and walkways. For more significant issues, incorporating French drains or dry creek beds with the right aggregate from our center can effectively redirect water and protect your landscape's foundation.

The first step is assessing the base. Often, shifting occurs due to an insufficient or washed-out foundation. We recommend removing the rocks, then installing a landscape fabric and a compacted layer of crushed drain rock to create a stable, weed-free base. Our team can help you calculate the right amount of material and choose edging to keep everything securely in place.
