🍂 The rains might be slowing down, but the signs of summer drainage problems could still be having an impact.

That makes now a smart time to address drainage issues before winter. Anything installed this fall will have a chance to settle in before next year’s heavy rain puts it to the test.

❄️ SNOW. SNOW. LET’S GO! 🚜

Our 3rd Annual Brilliant Borders Snow Rodeo is officially in the books! And this year, we added a little heat with our 1st Annual Chili Cook-Off! 🌶️🏆

Today, our snow fighters came together for hands-on training focused on safety, quality, plowing techniques, obstacle courses, and sharpening their heavy equipment operating skills to prepare for the winter season ahead.

Snow and ice management is an essential service. When Central Iowa winter weather is at its worst, our clients and community count on us to show up prepared, work safely, and deliver the quality they deserve.

🌶️ Then came the fun! We wrapped up the day with some friendly chili competition, homemade cinnamon rolls, sweet rolls, and well-earned time together!

The strength of Brilliant Borders starts with our people. Investing in their skills, building confidence, and strengthening our team allows us to better serve our clients and community.

We’re proud of our snow fighters and grateful for the dedication they bring every day!

Landscapes are what we build. People are why we build. 💚

Bring on winter! ❄️

🧱 A wet patch of lawn is one thing, but when water collects along a patio, behind a retaining wall, or beside another hardscape, it can start to affect the base underneath.

That’s when a small drainage issue can become a much bigger project if it’s left alone. If you have hardscape drainage issues, it’s time to call the pros.

🌧 A drainage fix doesn’t make water disappear. It moves it somewhere else.

That’s why a drainage system only works when there’s a clear path for the water to travel. Figuring out where the water should go is often the most important part of solving the problem.
