Excavation & Grading

While not what most homeowners think about when envisioning their landscaping projects, excavation and grading are very important things to consider. Poor drainage problems can cause huge headaches and real damage to your property and even your home. Water that falls as rain, forms as surface water on the ground, and that runs out of gutters all need to be properly ushered away from buildings and kept from collecting in unwanted locations on lawns and other outdoor areas.

What happens if you don’t have proper drainage? Beyond potentially flooding basements, other ground-level rooms or yards, many plants can be damaged or killed with too much water, and resulting long-term wet areas can be breeding grounds for mosquitoes. 

Plantique’s staff includes experts in both the planning and installation of proper landscape grading. We understand how excavation effects ground water and drainage, and we have decades of experience installing planting beds, lawns, driveways and hardscapes with proper water management in mind. We also know that the best methods for channeling water properly depend on each individual property’s soil conditions, setting and zoning regulations. We take all these things into consideration so that you don’t have to, with results that are both functional and beautiful for many years to come.
