SJ Bautch Construction: Experienced Landscaping Services Serving Grand Marais, MN 55604

Moss often indicates poor drainage and compacted soil. We use masonry and concrete to create functional hardscapes like patios, walkways, and retaining walls that improve water runoff. Properly installed, these features direct excess moisture away from lawn areas, reducing the damp, shaded conditions moss thrives in. This creates a drier, healthier foundation for your grass to grow.

The first step is a professional site assessment. We'll evaluate your property's slope, soil type, and where water pools. For many Grand Marais homes, the solution involves strategic grading and installing subsurface drainage systems like French drains. We then channel the collected water safely away from your home's foundation and into appropriate drainage areas, solving the soggy yard at its source.

Absolutely. Correct landscaping is crucial for foundation protection. We specialize in regrading the soil around your home to create a gentle slope that directs surface water away. We can also install dry creek beds, swales, and strategically placed rock gardens to manage water flow aesthetically. This prevents pooling, protects your foundation from moisture damage, and alleviates the damp conditions that lead to other issues like moss.
