New Office, New Yard - Part 3

Time to change our sign and elevate the look as we continue to renovate and remodel our new building and yard.  This week we demolished the old sign and are building a new sign using Olde Quarry Stone, Copthorne inlays and Ledgestone.  Truly impressive work by our very skilled crew!

Retaining Walls - Functional and Beautiful

Retaining walls can be both functional and beautiful. 

A well-built retaining wall can provide support for keeping your garden's topsoil in place, be helpful in preventing flooding and other water damage, prevent erosion and prevent damage to property or surrounding structures.

Retaining walls can be built with some of the most beautiful types of brick and stone.  The color options and styles abound.  Your yard becomes a park when you combine plants and bushes with your new retaining wall.

A Positive Pitch

Ensuring a positive pitch away from the home is very important.  To control this or pooling lawn areas, the creation of an efficient swale may be required.  Swales are an excellent technique in harvesting rainwater.  They capture surface runoff and allow underground nourishment to trees while also reducing erosion.   By redirecting the water we can prevent pooling (breeding ground for mosquitoes) and help make your yard more enjoyable.  Contact Integrity Drainage Solutions to receive a positive pitch!

Don't be Soggy on Father's Day

We'd like to salute all the fathers we know on this Father's Day, 2013. We thank you for providing for us, protecting us, and guiding us the loving way only fathers can.

After yesterday’s heavy rains, it is vital that you inspect your basement and property for exterior drainage issues. Is there dribbling water down your basement walls or by your basement windows? Do you have mini-ponds of standing water for days after a heavy rain? Does the water seem to be draining toward your home, not away from it?

If the answer is yes to any of these questions, we suggest you call Integrity Drainage Solutions today to arrange a free consultation.

Did you know exterior drainage problems affect 60% of all homeowners? Drainage problems may be seasonal or can develop over time. Typically, homeowners go for years before they even realize they have a persistent problem. These drainage issues will continue to worsen as water settles property features such as lawn areas, patios, driveways, and foundations, often causing preventable damage and expense.

After a heavy rain, inspect your home and property for any of these signs of water damage:

• Mold buildup,
• standing water ponding,
• mushy lawn areas,
• foundation issues,
• damp walls,
• water on basement floor.

#AtoZChallenge – W is for Walls Retaining

Walls that retain earth and look good doing it: Retaining walls are constructed features designed to restrain soil to unnatural slopes. They situate soils between two different elevations, often in areas of terrain with undesirable slopes or in areas where the landscape needs to be shaped for design considerations. Our experienced designers & installers will engineer your retaining wall system with superior construction, stability, durability, and strength.

Through the installation of a proper, compacted base we ensure the quality of the foundation of your new investment. In addition, by installing a proper drainage system behind all applicable walls, we can reduce the hydrostatic pressure and increase the longevity of your new retaining wall.

By offering quality materials such as Unilock, Keystone, Fieldstone, or Lannonstone, we will provide you with a variety of options to meet your budget so you can enjoy the beauty for years to come.

We offer a wide selection of Keystone products, such as Country Manor or Stonegate, in a variety of colors and the straight-face and sculptured-face units in either gray or light brown. Steps can be added for increased accessibility and decorative pillars can be added for an upscale appearance.

#AtoZ Challenge – C is for Carved Gully Erosion

Carved gully erosion results from perpetual water drainage issues that send the flowing water in the same, undesired direction. Integrity Drainage Solutions can implement a grading solution that eliminates the gully-causing flow, and sends water in a direction most beneficial for your property.

It can take as little as a day's work to resolve your drainage issues by strategically regrading and landscaping. Don't let your land wash away this way.
