Questions and Answers

My yard in Lexington has standing water after every rain. What's the best long-term fix?

Persistent standing water is common here due to our clay-heavy soil. The most effective long-term solution is a combination of proper grading and a subsurface drainage system, like a French drain. We'll assess your yard's slope, identify the low points, and install a system to redirect water away from your home's foundation and into a suitable discharge area, solving the puddling and protecting your property.

Why do my shrubs keep dying even with regular watering?

In Lexington, this is often a drainage or soil issue, not a watering one. Soggy, compacted soil can suffocate roots, while poor soil quality can lack nutrients. We start by testing the soil and checking for drainage problems. The fix might involve improving the soil bed, installing drainage, or choosing native, water-tolerant plants suited for our local climate, ensuring your landscaping thrives.

Can a new patio or walkway help with my yard's drainage issues?

Absolutely. A properly installed masonry feature is a key part of managing water flow. We design and build patios, walkways, and retaining walls with a slight pitch to direct water away from your home and into designated drainage areas. Using permeable base materials and correct installation techniques, we can turn a problem area into a beautiful, functional hardscape that actively improves your yard's drainage.
