Steep sites often demand terracing and retaining walls while flat sites require subtle grade changes to promote visual interest and improve surface drainage. Balancing cut and fill earth movements on-site requires careful thought and planning to minimize construction costs. We study the site specific grading requirements to create a properly engineered earthmoving plan. From this point we engage in more animated and artful grading in the form of lawn and bed contouring and blending plant bed areas into fixed hardscape elements such as walls and water features.
Drainage and grading go hand in hand when considering the overall movement of water through the site. Standing water can drown plants and create ongoing maintenance headaches, while rapidly flowing water can wash away plants & mulch and cause erosion. Careful analysis of drainage patterns throughout your property followed by implementation of the most appropriate surface and sub-surface drainage solutions will ensure excess water is evacuated effectively from your garden areas.
