Fox Point Drainage Solution Project

There are a wide range of drainage problems that affect homeowners. These drainage problems will continue to get worse over time as water settles features such as lawn areas, patios and landscaping causing easily preventable damage and expense. Our team’s approach to solving most drainage problems is simple, water flows downhill. We simply create a path for water to flow away from its undesired location.

In this project, two neighbors in Fox Point, WI were both having drainage issues. The overgrown landscape had created a pitch towards both of their homes and created puddling in the lawn area between the homes. The goal in this project was to create a positive pitch away from both homes and to create a smooth efficient swale.

Fox Point Drainage Solution — Both homes have a negative pitch towards the house and there is a flat lawn area between them where water pools.

landscape contractor — In order to achieve a positive pitch away from both homes, all the existing landscaping, trees and shrubs have to be removed.

drainage solution — The area is then graded to create an efficient swale.

drain tile installer — The perforated drain tile is back filled with limestone chips to help absorb additional sub-surface water within the swale.

grading contractor — Drain tile is finished being installed and the final grades are being checked with a laser transit to ensure the swale is pitched properly and water will move efficiently away from both homes.

milwaukee landscaper — A catch basin is added to the drain tile system to help catch additional water within the swale.

waukesha landscaper — Topsoil, seed and erosion control are added to completed swale.

Franklin landscaper — The grading and swale are complete! All that needs to be done is for the customer to water the new lawn area.

New Berlin Landscaper — A few weeks later, the new lawn area has grown in nicely!

From beginning to end, this project took just 2 days! Our expert team specializes in these types of drainage projects every day throughout Southeastern Wisconsin. For additional information on drainage issues and their solutions, please visit our Drainage Solutions page.

Planning on Selling Your Home? Invest In Landscaping!

First impressions are key! You can often tell a lot about a home based on what it looks like from the street. If a potential home buyer does not like the curb appeal of the home, they often won’t even go inside. Overgrown and dated landscaping conveys a message to the home buyer that the rest of the house will be taken care of in the same manner.

Statistics show that a home with great landscaping can raise the value of a home up to 28% and can even increase the home’s sale price by 4-5%. In addition, a well landscaped home can sell up to 10-15% faster. Landscaping has also proven to have the best return on investment compared to any home improvement project. Feel free to take a look at our pricing examples page to help give you some ideas.

A well designed and properly maintained landscape gives the feeling that the home has been well maintained and updated. Great landscaping can give an unforgettable first impression and assist in selling any home!
