Grading and Drainage on Flat Ground

Flat ground holds water.

Design near Plain City starts with where water goes during a heavy rain, then sets grading, swales, planting beds, and hardscape on one plan so standing water drains away from the house and patio.

Windbreaks and Native Plantings

Open lots catch the wind.

Rows of evergreens and native shrubs block it, frame the house, and give birds and pollinators cover. Rain gardens and dry creek beds handle runoff while adding interest.

Large Patios and Long Walkways

Bigger properties call for bigger patios and longer paths between the house, the garage, and outbuildings.

Each is built on a compacted base and graded to drain, and low walls for raised beds add height to an otherwise flat yard.

Pavilions and Outdoor Kitchens

A pavilion gives a country property a covered outdoor room, and an outdoor kitchen under the roof makes it a place to host dinners in any weather.

Pools With Room Around Them

A larger lot leaves space for a wide pool deck, a spa, and a lounge area without crowding the yard.

The pool is designed by Exscape Group’s pool team, with Polaris Pools’ specialty background behind it, and graded so surface water drains away from the deck.
