Common questions
Why does water pool in my yard?+
Usually a combination of Central PA clay soil, a flat or reverse grade, and downspouts dumping right at the foundation.
How much does a French drain cost?+
Roughly $30–$60 per linear foot installed depending on depth, access, and where the outlet has to go.
Will extending my downspouts be enough?+
Often, yes. It's the cheapest fix and we always try it first when the problem is concentrated near the house.
What's a dry creek bed?+
A stone-lined surface channel that carries runoff and looks like a landscape feature instead of a drain.
Do you fix wet basements?+
We handle exterior water management, which frequently resolves it. Interior waterproofing needs a specialty contractor.
Will the lawn be torn up?+
There's trenching involved, but we restore with sod or seed and it blends back within a season.

Good landscape design starts with how you actually use your property. We plan beds, plantings, and hardscape around your sun, drainage, and maintenance appetite — then install it with plants that thrive in Central Pennsylvania rather than ones that need babysitting.

Sod installation gives you a finished lawn in a day instead of a season. The results live or die on the prep — we strip the old surface, correct the grade, amend and till the soil, then lay fresh-cut cool-season sod tight with staggered seams.

Decorative rock is the low-maintenance answer to beds you're tired of re-mulching. We prep with quality fabric and solid edging so the stone stays put and weeds stay out — then set the rock at an even depth for a clean, permanent look.
