Grading

If your Chester County, PA garden gets flooded often, this can lead to oxygen deficient plants, causing root-rot and other various problems. Water can also penetrate the walls of your foundation and leak into your basement if your landscape is improperly sloped. Water in the foundation can create cracks and lead to dangerous mold and mildew growth. To prevent water buildup, Blue Cord Property Care can create a five percent slope going down from your buildings and walls can help drain excess water. If this doesn’t work, other draining equipment can be installed to help divert the excess water.

Alternatively, if you live in a drier climate in Coatesville, PA, a sloping landscape could be negatively affecting your soil health. When water hits the surface of a sloped lawn with clay, brick-like soil, it will run off instead of absorbing and your roots won’t receive the nutrients they need to thrive. By grading the lawn with Blue Cord Property Care, you increase the chances that your dry soil will soak up the water it needs.
