Tired of driving in the mud? This old gravel driveway in Danville was in need of a refresh to get this homeowner out of the muck. We were able to regrade the driveway and cover it with a thick layer of 2A stone before the major spring rains could turn it into a real mess!

Why your gutters aren't enough... ⛈️

Even the best gutters can’t save your basement if the ground slopes toward your house. After a heavy downpour, this homeowner in Northumberland, PA, had 10 inches of water in his basement. To keep this from happening again, we reshaped his backyard and diverted the water to go around his house instead of into it!

Why this works:

Gravity is free: We use the natural landscape to pull water away.

Foundation Health: Keeps soil pressure even and prevents cracks.

Low Maintenance: Once the grade is set, it works forever.

Completed project from last season: A full replacement of a failing field stone retaining wall with a heavy duty bin block system.

The original stone wall had lost its structural integrity due to age and shifting soil. We excavated the site and installed these interlocking concrete blocks to provide long term stability and erosion control for the property. This project was located in Sunbury, PA.

I think these industrial blocks look pretty good in a residential setting!

The artic weather has allowed us to get some hedgerows cleared in this usually wet field. As frozen as everything is, there is still a lot of water moving underground. We dug a small pond for filling livestock watering troughs, and it filled right up.
