Structural Fix & Style Upgrade: Total Backyard Transformation for Mrs. Lappe! šŸ”šŸŒ³

Mrs. Lappe reached out to us with a severe issue: her unlevel backyard was causing water to flow under her raised home, risking foundation damage. This project was a perfect blend of structural protection and a significant boost in curb appeal. Phase 1: Foundation Protection and Weed Treatment We started by addressing the structural issues and preparing the ground for a healthy, new lawn: Leveling and Grading: We leveled and graded the entire backyard, ensuring the slope directed water away from the house and foundation. This is the single most crucial step in protecting a raised home from water intrusion! Weed Treatment: After grading, we intentionally left the yard open for 15 days to apply a thorough weed treatment. This preemptive step ensures the new sod will take root in a clean, healthy environment, guaranteeing a gorgeous, low-maintenance lawn. Demolition: Completed the necessary demolition work to clear the space for both the grading and the new fence installation. Phase 2: Fresh Sod and Privacy Upgrade With the ground properly prepared and protected, we moved on to the aesthetic and privacy upgrades: Sod Installation: We returned and re-sodded the entire area. This immediately transformed the backyard into a lush, green, usable space. New Cedar Fence Installation: We replaced her old, low metal fence with a beautiful, durable, and private new cedar fence along the 77-foot property line. Scope: This included the careful demolition of the old fence, excavation for new treated wood posts set securely in concrete, and the installation of cedar pickets for a uniform, high-quality finish. Benefit: The new fence offers significantly improved privacy, security, and a substantial aesthetic upgrade to the entire property. Ready for a Backyard That Works as Hard as It Looks? Mrs. Lappe's home is now protected from water damage, and her backyard has become a beautiful, private retreat. From foundation-saving grading to high-quality cedar fencing, we handle it all. ā“ Is your yard draining toward your home, or are you tired of an old fence? Let us know your biggest outdoor pain point! šŸ‘‡ šŸ’” A professional-grade and quality fence is one of the best investments you can make in your home's value and protection!
