In Salem, WI, we undertook a residential project to transform an overgrown backyard and resolve drainage issues. Key tasks included removing trees and shrubs, regrading the yard, removing a deck, installing an underground drainage system, building granite boulder retaining walls, and adding topsoil for final landscaping.

Scope of Work:

1. Tree and Shrub Removal:
   • Cleared overgrown vegetation for a clean slate.
2. Regrading:
   • Improved water drainage away from the house with proper yard grading.
3. Deck Removal:
   • Safely dismantled and removed the existing deck.
4. Drainage System Installation:
   • Connected gutters and sump pump line to an underground drain system to prevent water damage.
5. Retaining Walls:
   • Constructed granite boulder retaining walls for structural support and visual appeal.
6. Topsoil Placement:
   • Added pulverized topsoil after grading for healthy plant growth.

Outcome: The backyard is now a well-graded, aesthetically pleasing space with improved drainage. The new drainage system and retaining walls ensure water is directed away from the house, preventing future issues. The added topsoil prepares the area for lush landscaping, enhancing the overall look and functionality of the backyard.
