Landscaping Pittsburgh PA | Call Walko Excavating & Construction

In our area, sprinkler leaks are often caused by shifting soil from freeze-thaw cycles, accidental strikes from landscaping equipment, or aging PVC lines. At Walko, we start by using specialized equipment to locate the exact source of the leak. Our repair process involves careful excavation to expose the damaged section, followed by a precise, watertight repair or replacement of the line. We then backfill and compact the soil properly to prevent future settling, ensuring your irrigation system is reliable for seasons to come.

Persistent dead patches often point to issues below the surface, not just a lack of water. Common culprits in Pittsburgh include compacted clay soil that prevents drainage, poor grading that leads to water pooling, or even buried construction debris from past projects. Our team performs a thorough site evaluation to diagnose the problem. Solutions may include core aeration to relieve soil compaction, regrading to improve drainage, or complete excavation and replacement of the subsoil to create a healthy foundation for new sod or seed.

Absolutely. As a full-service excavating and construction company, we are uniquely equipped to manage integrated projects. For example, if we need to excavate to repair a major sprinkler line or address severe drainage issues, we can seamlessly transition to rebuilding your landscape. This includes grading, installing new topsoil, laying sod, and planting. Handling both the 'dig' and the 'beautify' phases in-house ensures better coordination, cost-efficiency, and a single point of accountability for your entire project in the Pittsburgh area.
