New Landscape, Retaining Walls, Regrading and Mulch

Are you having water problems in your basement?

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.

BRICK PATIO REBUILD AND PAVER JOINT MAINTENANCE

We are happy to provide maintenance of any type of Brick Paver Installation. One example of the many services we provide is this 12 year old brick patio that we restored last week of March. The jointing sand had been washed away years prior, contributing to minor movement in the border bricks located just inside the retaining walls. The sidewalk also had paver joints that were in need of sand and weeds had begun growing in the joints. After all growth was removed, and all bricks restored to their original appearance, polymeric jointing sand was installed.
