Sonny Beez Landscape & Maintenance: Expert Landscaping Services Serving Poulsbo, WA 98370

Poor grading is a common issue here due to our soil composition and rainfall. We assess the slope and water flow on your property, then carefully regrade the lawn to create a gentle, consistent slope away from your home's foundation. This corrects the drainage path, preventing water from pooling near structures or creating soggy, unusable areas in your yard.

For persistent problems, we often recommend installing a subsurface drainage system, like a French drain. This involves digging a trench, laying perforated pipe wrapped in gravel, and covering it with soil and sod. It's a highly effective, permanent solution that discreetly redirects excess groundwater away from problem areas, protecting your landscape and your home's foundation.

Strategic landscaping can be a very effective first line of defense. We use techniques like creating rain gardens with native, water-loving plants in low spots, building berms to redirect flow, and improving soil health with aeration and compost to increase absorption. Often, a combination of softscape and hardscape solutions provides the most complete and aesthetically pleasing fix for your property.
