Plan drainage before patios and new sod

A patio changes the way water moves. New sod can cover a low area without correcting it. Bring drainage, hardscape elevations and planting plans into the same conversation so each element supports the others. Executive Green’s residential services include grading, drainage and erosion control alongside landscape construction.

Ask for a scope that identifies the collection area, intended flow path, outlet, disturbed areas and restoration. Also ask how the finished system will be inspected and maintained. Leaves and sediment can reduce the performance of an otherwise well-planned installation.

Protect Foundations and Hardscapes

Unchecked runoff can undermine patios, crack driveways, and even shift house footings. Modern block or natural-stone retaining walls integrate French drains and weep holes that channel water safely away from structures as part of a site-specific design.

Boost Curb Appeal and Property Value

A well-planned wall can create a cleaner transition between elevations and complement the house. Choose materials for the project and site; resale speed or financial returns cannot be promised.

Choosing the Right Material

• Engineered Concrete Block – Uniform, strong, and available in earth-tone blends that match Watkinsville homes.

• Natural Fieldstone – Timeless look that blends with wooded lots near Lake Oconee.

• Brick-Faced Walls – Perfect for tying new hardscape into historic downtown architecture.

Local Codes & Permitting

Confirm permitting, engineering and HOA requirements with the authority responsible for your property before construction. Wall height, loads, location and site conditions can affect the review. Establish who handles each approval in the written scope.
