The list of activities that lend themselves to a patio is only limited by your imagination! Paver patios offer the perfect place to relax. Imagine being able to enjoy your favorite beverage and a good book after a hard day's work away from the busy activities inside your home. A paver patio can be your personal retreat right outside your door! Paver patios are the ideal place to entertain. From parties too large to be held inside to intimate gatherings of family and friends, you can enjoy the outdoors while reducing the traffic inside of your home.
Wet basements are usually caused by groundwater building up in the soil to a level where hydraulic pressure forces the moisture inside through your foundation's weakest point, or from improperly installed or inadequate window wells. This moisture, if left unchecked, will lead to structural damage, foundation buckling, mold, mildew, the inability to use the basement for storage or living space, and will decrease the value of the entire home. The most frequent cause of this is an improper grade sloping towards the home.

Installing a gravel driveway is an affordable, practical alternative to pavement. The permeable surface allows rainwater to drain through and adds subtle textural contrast to a yard. Or as seen in the photos below, a gravel drive can turn a muddy mess into a safe driveable surface. We are the Water Control Experts. We don't just scatter a bit of rock here and there, and then the potholes are back within a month. We assess the underlying issues, repair them, and then create a new surface. Our work lasts far longer and is much less costly over time.
When thinking about landscaping, most people (including most landscaping contractors) just look at the aesthetics and worry only about how attractive the surface appears. Before we think about the final appearance, we are evaluating the water control below the surface to protect the home against moisture and flooding issues. If these issues are not addressed properly from the start, major damage can occur to a home and create expensive repairs. Our extensive experience and knowledge of the climate in Iowa from a 'Water Control' standpoint allow our professional team to do the job right the first time and save customers the expense and heartache of doing it all over again.
