Waldo Landscaping & Construction: Experienced Landscaping Services Serving Springfield, IL 62703

Standing water is a common issue in our area due to clay-heavy soil. We address this by first evaluating your yard's grading and drainage patterns. Solutions often include installing French drains or dry creek beds to redirect water, regrading the landscape to promote proper runoff, and using permeable hardscaping materials. Our goal is to create a system that handles Springfield's heavy rains, protecting your lawn and home's foundation.

Compacted soil is tough on grass roots. Our process typically involves core aeration to relieve compaction and allow air, water, and nutrients to reach the soil. We may also recommend topdressing with a compost mix to improve soil structure and overseeding with durable grass varieties suited for Central Illinois. For severely compacted areas, we might suggest tilling and amending the soil before a full lawn renovation.

Absolutely. As a licensed general contractor and landscaping company, we manage the entire project. This means we handle the excavation, base preparation, construction of the patio or wall (using materials like paver bricks, concrete, or natural stone), and then seamlessly integrate it with the surrounding landscape design. This single-source responsibility ensures quality, saves you time coordinating multiple contractors, and results in a cohesive finished look for your Springfield home.
