What happens here

Once grading is complete and any drainage systems are installed, spread landscape fabric over the newly graded areas around the foundation. Secure it with landscape staples. Install new stepping stones or pathways as desired, ensuring they maintain the positive pitch away from the house. Apply a layer of mulch or decorative gravel over the landscape fabric for aesthetic appeal and to further help with moisture retention and weed control. This final step enhances both the appearance and functionality of your exterior drainage system.

Goal: Restore the aesthetic appeal of the yard while maintaining effective drainage.

all finished up here. Uh, this woman had negative pitch all the way around her house getting wet in the basement. There was a sidewalk here that we took out, steppers. This is all going to be mulch. Mulch. We cut a swale in. Homeowners doing the mulch. Not a bad little job. I do little ones like this all season. But that's that on this one. And uh we're going to fly on down to our uh big old wall in Burnsville.
