The first step is a professional site evaluation. We'll assess the grading, soil compaction, and low spots causing the pooling. Often, the solution involves regrading or earthmoving to create a gentle slope away from your home, combined with trenching for French drains or channel drains to redirect water. Addressing the underlying soil compaction is also crucial for long-term drainage health.

Absolutely. Compacted soil is a major barrier to healthy roots and drainage. Our process starts with soil aeration and may include tilling in organic amendments. For new construction or major renovations, we perform expert soil backfilling and compaction with the right materials to create an ideal planting bed. This foundational work ensures your new shrubs, trees, and lawn have the environment they need to establish and thrive.

Yes, this is a core part of our integrated service. We design and build hardscapes like patios, walkways, and retaining walls with proper slope and sub-base compaction to ensure surface water runs off correctly. Simultaneously, we plan the surrounding landscape and irrigation system to manage rainwater, often incorporating permeable materials and strategic planting beds that absorb runoff. We solve the drainage issue while creating your beautiful new outdoor living space.
