Note: Water that doesn't drain away from the crawl space or basement of a house can cause structural damage. Subsurface Drainage - When drainage issues outside your home force water to flow through the seams between the foundation wall and the floor of a basement or through the cracks in the basement wall itself, subsurface drainage may be necessary. Drainage systems consisting of drain tiles or perforated pipes surrounded by gravel and installed in a sloping trench can help move the water away from the foundation.
HOMEOWNERS - Does the part of your home and yard viewed from the street have curb appeal? Are your visitors able to see your front door or is the entrance hidden behind overgrown shrubs? Is everything just green and blah? Want to add some variety and interest to your landscaping but not sure what to remove or what to add? We can help. BUSINESSES - The front of your building and any hardscaping, landscaping, or signage viewed from the street is the first impression potential customers have of your business.
Turf grass is one of the best groundcovers for coverage and ease of maintenance in our area, but grass can't always thrive in difficult spots like eroding slopes or heavily shaded areas. Some slopes may be slight enough for grass to effectively grow but unsafe to mow especially in wet weather. For these spots, consider an alternative groundcover. Living groundcovers for slopes include: English Ivy, Ice Plant, Juniper, Pachysandra, Phlox, Sedum, Speedwell, Vinca. HOMEOWNERS - We can take care of your lawn so you don't have to.
You can also choose to add trailing plants above the wall or in planting pockets created in the crevices for a simple, easy way to add more color and texture to your landscape. There's more to a retaining wall than meets the eye. Basically, the part of a retaining wall that you can see is just one part of a retaining wall. In addition to the design aspects of a retaining wall, there is the back-breaking chore of physically building the wall. Though individual stones or blocks may not seem very heavy, if you multiply that task by hundreds or thousands, you may find it difficult to complete a DIY wall in a timely fashion - or at all - if you injure yourself.
Want a water feature in your yard but don't have space for a pond? Consider adding a pondless waterfall to your yard - requires less space and is less expensive and easier to maintain than a pond. Contact us or call 772-4722 for a free estimate today. Small or large ponds, fountains, waterfalls, or other water features are eye-catching elements in any landscape. In addition to their visual appeal, ponds, fountains, and waterfalls have a lot to offer a yard or garden. Beauty - When you think of picturesque locations in nature, chances are your list might include some famous waterfalls.
HOMEOWNERS - If you are unhappy with the type of mulch you have now, we can replace it with your choice of mulch to give your yard the finished look you want. If you are happy with what you have, but it's been a while since it was put down, you may want to add mulch to bring it to a proper depth that will keep your plants healthy and looking their best. We have found that many customers do not favor blown mulch as it is often inadvertently applied in places where fine particles of mulch are difficult to remove such as in the small crevices of brick walls or in the fine foliage of shrubs.

We can install or add on to existing decks and patios to expand your outdoor living and entertaining space.

Trees add liveliness, freshness and greenery to the outdoor spaces of commercial and residential properties. They lend shade as well as reduce pollution levels in the immediate vicinity. But sometimes, even the sturdiest mature trees become damaged or infested with insects or fungus. In these situations, tree removal may be the only practical solution. If you have any trees that are leaning precariously towards your home or commercial structure or have been impacted in any other way, call the experts at Ground Up Inc.
Hardscaping is a term used in the landscaping industry to refer to any stone or wood structure built or installed in the landscape. Wood elements can include decks, arbors, pergolas, trellises and fencing. Ground Up can install or custom build a wide variety of hardscaping features to suit your landscape needs. For example, a low, free-standing wall adds interest to planted areas as well as extra outdoor seating near a patio or play area; stone steps allow ease of access on steep slopes; curbing or edging adds a more finished look around planting beds, turf areas or patios.
