Water Works Landscaping - Oakland's Local Landscapers

Poor drainage often stems from compacted soil and incorrect grading. We tackle this with a multi-step approach. Our landscape construction services include regrading your lawn to create proper slope and installing French drains if needed. For soil health, we use core aeration to relieve compaction, followed by top-dressing with compost to improve structure. Our irrigation design ensures water is applied efficiently without contributing to runoff or pooling, creating a healthier foundation for your entire landscape.

Absolutely. Compacted soil prevents water, air, and nutrients from reaching plant roots, leading to stressed, unhealthy shrubs and thin lawns. Our shrub care and lawn care programs are designed to combat this. We provide deep-root fertilization, targeted disease and insect management, and proper pruning to reduce stress. More importantly, we address the root cause by improving your soil's condition through aeration and amendments, ensuring your plants have the healthy environment they need to flourish.

Preventing drainage problems starts with great design. Our landscape design and greenscape design services begin with a thorough site analysis, assessing your property's existing grading and soil. We then create a plan that incorporates solutions like permeable paving, strategic planting beds, and properly sloped lawns to manage water flow from the start. Our construction team expertly executes this plan, ensuring your new landscape is not only beautiful but also built to handle Oakland's weather, preventing soil compaction and water issues down the line.
