Grading & Drainage

Poor drainage causes obvious problems: standing water, foul odor, insects, diseased or dying plants, mud and ruined turf. Planning and installing suitable drainage will solve these problems and prevent the site from turning into a maintenance nightmare during storms and rainy seasons. In severe situations, poor drainage can cause water and mildew issues inside the home although poor drainage is a much more common landscape problem and is considered by many to be one of the biggest killers of landscape plants.

Planning Your Drainage System

Every situation is unique and the first step Hodgson’s Home Services takes is to identify low spots in the landscape. If obvious low spots exist on the property, the water must have a way to exit those areas. If you don’t install drainage, a puddle probably will develop whenever it rains.  Once the areas have been noted, we will then design a drainage plan exclusively for your particular area.  Pricing is dependent upon the materials needed, as well as the time taken to complete the project.

Grading

Proper grading is achieved by adding fill dirt, if necessary, and topsoil.  We will probably need to powerseed the area once we have achieved the required grading. Pricing is dependent upon the amount of dirt needed.
