Frequently Asked Questions

Can you help with a soggy yard or lawn fungus problem in my Allentown neighborhood?

Absolutely. Poor drainage and standing water are common issues in our area and are a leading cause of lawn disease. We address this at the source. Our services include land grading and regrading to create proper slope away from your home, trench digging for French drains, and soil backfilling with correct compaction. By fixing the foundation of your landscape, we eliminate the wet conditions that promote fungus, creating a healthier yard.

What's included in your 'site preparation' service for a project like a patio or addition?

Our site preparation is a thorough process to ensure a stable, level base. It typically involves land clearing of debris and vegetation, precise excavation to the required depth, careful grading to establish drainage, and soil compaction. For patios or foundations, we also handle the concrete base installation. We manage all necessary permits and erosion control measures, providing a complete, ready-to-build site for your contractor or our own masonry team.

Do you handle irrigation system repairs, or do you only install new systems?

We provide full-service irrigation support for Allentown homeowners. This includes repairing broken lines, fixing faulty valves or sprinkler heads, and performing routine maintenance to keep systems efficient. For timer failures or complex issues, we diagnose the problem—whether it's electrical, a pressure issue from a main line break, or damage from frost heave—and provide a lasting repair. We also install new, water-efficient systems as part of our landscape construction projects.
