How services work together

Drainage first, then grading and sod

One possible sequence for a yard that holds water. Not every property needs all three; we recommend what yours needs after seeing it. One local crew handles the whole project, in the right order.

  1. Drain pipe going into a trench along a fence

    1Stage 1

    Yard drainage

    French drains, yard drains or regrading send the water away from the house first, so the new lawn does not sit in it.

    About yard drainage

  2. Front yard graded smooth with sod pallets ready to install

    2Stage 2

    Grading

    The ground is cleared, shaped and leveled so it slopes away from the house and is ready for the lawn.

    About grading

  3. Crew laying new sod across a backyard

    3Stage 3

    Sod

    New sod goes down on the prepared soil. Sod gives you a finished lawn the day it is laid.

Which service do I need?

Start with what you see, then we walk the property with you. You get a written estimate for the fix that matches your property, not the most expensive one.

Yes. One local crew handles the whole project, from clearing and grading to drainage, hardscaping, planting, sod, irrigation and lighting, supervised by owner Steve Nassan.

Do you offer lawn mowing or maintenance?

No. We design and build: drainage, landscape design and installation, patios and retaining walls, sod, grading, irrigation, lighting, tree work and bulkheads. We do not offer weekly mowing or routine lawn maintenance.

Do you work on commercial and HOA properties?

Yes. We install landscapes, drainage and hardscaping for offices, retail and HOA properties. See commercial landscaping.

How much does a project cost?

It depends on the size of the area, the materials and how much site preparation is needed, so we do not quote over the phone. We visit your property and give you a free written estimate.
