Replacing the old landscaping with new slate stone and metal edging was the goal on this job in Michigan City. First, we tore out all of the bushes and shrubs that were around the house and in front of the property. This client had issues with his new driveway cracking over the winter. Our solution to fix this problem was to install corner drains on the low spot of the driveway/sidewalk. The water collected there was then moved out into the yard. Since the ground was littered with old tree roots the soil around the driveway was not draining well at all. Excavation of that area around the driveway was done and then new top soil was brought in to achieve the desired grade. Black metal edging was paired with a slate rock to achieve a monochromatic landscape vibe to match the house. We installed a couple globe arborvitaes and juniper shrubs in front. In total, there we landscaped the house, two garages and another small building. The other beds were left empty for the client to plant. We also changed the grade around the entire house to keep rain water running away from the house. CNWL Facebook.
