New Landscape, Retaining Walls, Regrading and Mulch


Another one of our specialties is water diversion and re-grading. If the grade along your basement walls is retaining water we can help. Having a hill behind your house can divert surface water directly to your basement walls. The grade at your foundation walls should slope away from the house at a minimum of 1/4" per foot. More is better when it comes to drainage.

Gutters should also be kept clear and when possible, gutters should be sleeved so that water is not trapped inside the landscape or sidewalks adjacent to your house. We have resolved many drainage issues over the years.

This home had a large hill behind it with water being diverted into the corner. By adding a retaining wall, adding topsoil and regrading, we diverted the water away from the basement walls. We then added mulch to the beds, re-seeded the turf, and added plantings for increased curb appeal.
