Aesthetic and Functional Earthwork for Lasting Landscapes
Slope stabilization, erosion control, contour modification, berms, and drainage — the shaping work that makes a beautiful yard actually survive a Cedar City storm.
A landscape is only as good as the dirt under it
Shape the land, then plant on it
- ✓Site drainage assessment with downspout, swale, and runoff routing
- ✓Berm construction with internal compaction and topsoil cap
- ✓Slope grading to stable angles with vegetative or hardscape cover
- ✓Retaining-wall sub-base prep and drainage tile
- ✓Erosion control during establishment (hydroseed, blanket, wattle)
Landscape earthwork scope
Yard Contouring
Reshape lots for drainage, usability, and visual flow.
Slope Stabilization
Regrading, terracing, geotextile reinforcement.
Erosion Control
Silt fencing, wattle, hydroseed, blanket matting.
Drainage Installation
French drains, dry wells, swales, channel drains, sump systems.
Berm Construction
Structured berms for screening, traffic flow, and design.
Retaining Wall Prep
Sub-base, drainage, and backfill for hardscape walls.
Why landscape earthwork matters
Drainage-First Design
We solve water before we solve aesthetics — because water always wins long-term.
Integrated Approach
Earthwork, retaining walls, and landscape can all be A to Z scope.
Erosion Prevention
Establishment-phase erosion control protects new plantings while they root in.
HOA-Friendly
We work with HOA guidelines and architectural review committees.
Frequently Asked
Q.How do you stop erosion on a sloped yard?
A combination of regrading to break long slopes, surface drainage to redirect runoff, and ground cover (hydroseed, blanket matting, or vegetation). For steep slopes, terracing with retaining walls is often the right long-term answer.
Q.Can you build berms for landscaping?
Yes — berms are a great way to add visual interest, screen views, and direct foot traffic. We build with proper internal compaction so they hold their shape and drain properly.
Q.Do you install French drains for yard drainage?
Yes. French drains, dry wells, surface swales, channel drains — whichever solution fits the site. We'll diagnose first; the cheapest drain is the one you don't actually need.
Q.What about slope stabilization?
Depending on slope angle and soil type: regrading to a stable angle, geotextile reinforcement, terracing with walls, vegetative cover, or in extreme cases soil nailing and shotcrete. We assess and recommend the right method.
