Irrigation Systems—Built to Be Simple

We install and service basic irrigation systems. These are smart, efficient setups—not overly complex and not overloaded with zones you’ll never use. Our focus is making sure your lawn or landscape gets consistent water without waste.

Excavation Work—Cut, Dig, and Clear

Before you build, plant, or pour—dig it right. We offer light excavation services to help you prep your property the right way. Whether you’re running lines, setting posts, or reshaping your yard, we have the tools to get it done without tearing up everything around it.

Utility Prep and Access

Need trenches dug for plumbing or power lines? We make the cuts clean and to spec.

Reshaping Slopes and Beds

Sometimes the grade isn’t right. We can fix it before it causes bigger problems down the line.

Equipment That Fits the Job

Our gear is sized for residential work. No oversized machines chewing up your property.

Drainage Work—Stop the Flood Before It Starts

Standing water and erosion can wreck your yard fast. We build practical drainage systems to keep water moving and prevent long-term damage. Whether it’s redirecting runoff or installing underground drains, we fix the flow and leave it solid.

French Drains and Catch Basins

We install proven systems that move water without backing up. No gimmicks—just clean slopes and solid pipework.

Downspout Redirection

Water pooling near your house? We extend and bury your downspouts to push water away from the foundation.

Surface Grading

Even a small low spot can trap water. We re-grade problem areas and restore even ground.

FAQs—Irrigation and Groundwork Questions

  • What kind of irrigation systems do you install?

    We install basic, reliable residential systems—not high-end setups with tons of zones and sensors. Our goal is long-term function.

  • Can you fix old or broken sprinkler lines?

    Yes. We repair cracked lines, stuck heads, broken valves, and more.

  • Do I need a permit for excavation?

    It depends on the depth and location. For most light residential digging, permits aren’t required. We’ll let you know before we start.

  • How do I know if I need a French drain?

    If water pools in one area for more than 24 hours, or if erosion is showing, a French drain might help. We’ll assess it.

  • Will excavation damage my yard?

    We minimize disruption by using residential-sized equipment and working with precision. We’ll restore the area when the work is done.

Pro Tips—Make Irrigation and Drainage Work Better

1.    Don’t run sprinklers daily—deeper, less frequent watering works best.

2.    Clean out your gutters—clogged ones cause drainage issues fast.

3.    Bury lines deep enough to avoid mower damage.

4.    Avoid watering at night—it invites mold and fungus.

5.    Watch for soft spots in your yard—they may be a sign of broken pipes or poor drainage.

Long-Term Results Start Below the Surface

When you fix drainage or install irrigation the right way, it pays off year after year. You stop wasting water. You avoid repairs. You prevent foundation damage, erosion, and soggy lawn patches. These aren't just surface issues—they can lead to big costs if left alone.

 

That’s why we focus on the groundwork. We do it once, and we do it right. Whether you're planning new landscaping or just tired of walking through puddles, smart underground work gives you a clean, solid base for anything else you want to do.
