Drainage & Grading
 

• The success of your landscape is dependent upon drainage.

• Water logged soil lacks oxygen and quickly causes your plants to decline.

• Standing water will freeze in the winter and create a hazard.

• Excess water will eventually find it's way to the lowest point which is usually your basement.  

• A significant portion of the water affecting your landscape comes from your roof.  We install underground piping from your downspouts to carry the water to an area that can accommodate it.

• Adequate slope away from your foundation is important in controlling water.  We install compacted soil to increase the slope and keep you dry.

• Drainage basins are an effective way of collecting water in one area and piping it to an area that can accommodate the water.

• Perforated piping set in crushed stone and surrounded by landscape fabric is also a good way to keep your water moving.
