Kind, helpful, and provided excellent service. There was a brief in-person appointment before the service where Dodge talked us through the work that needed to be done to ensure the scope was accurate. All workers were prompt and thorough. Helped get rid of stubborn weeds that we had tackled year over year. Highly recommend.

Site Preparation FAQ
Common questions about site preparation in Phoenix, MD.
Yes, site preparation is required before any hardscape installation in Phoenix, MD. Skipping it leads to uneven surfaces, drainage problems, and premature settling.
Clay-heavy Maryland soil is common across Baltimore County. It holds water, drains slowly, and makes base preparation more difficult. We check soil conditions before work begins and address them during the prep phase.
Baltimore County storms deliver heavy rain, and poorly graded sites allow that water to pool under or around hardscape. We grade every site so runoff moves away from structures and drains properly.
Site prep includes clearing the area, grading the soil to the correct slope, and compacting the base before any hardscape material is installed. Each step is done in sequence to create a stable, level surface.
Yes, hardscape installed over an unprepared or poorly compacted base can shift, crack, or settle as Maryland soil expands and contracts with moisture and freeze-thaw cycles. Proper prep prevents those outcomes.
We provide site preparation for hardscaping projects across Phoenix, MD, including patios, retaining walls, walkways, and outdoor living areas. Each project starts with a site assessment before any work begins.
