Our retaining wall project was pretty straightforward, but the town made getting permits quite difficult. Dave was persistent and persuasive in getting the necessary supporting documents and, ultimately, the permit. He and his guys did a fantastic job on the project and the communication was excellent. We are super happy with our new wall and Dave was very enjoyable to work with.

I was so panicked and I feel so much better they are on the job. Also, Wayne quoted me a less costly fix rather than a full blown French drain for which I am so grateful. In 2017, they installed a partial French drain that has held up beautifully. Paul even cleaned out the drains and gave me advice on how to maintain them. Thank you!

Our specialty is installing French drain systems, which can be tied to downspout systems, sump pumps and area drains. We take a minimally invasive approach to installing French drains by tunneling beneath plants to reduce disruption to root systems. “French drains eliminate the negative effects of moisture,” says our owner Wayne Ortland, “including mold, mildew, damaged floors and conditions in which termites can thrive.” Our specialties also include, but aren’t limited to, Under Floor Drains, Downspout Systems, Sub-Drain Systems, Sump Pumps, Retaining Walls, Pavestone Driveways & Walkways, Synthetic Turf, Pool Demolitions, Concrete Demolitions and re-pour, Irrigation, and Landscaping.
