Site Preparation FAQ

Common questions about site preparation in Phoenix, MD.

Yes, site preparation is required before any hardscape installation in Phoenix. Skipping it leads to uneven surfaces, drainage problems, and premature settling.

Caliche is a hard calcium carbonate layer found in soil across Phoenix that blocks drainage and makes base preparation more difficult. We check for it before work begins and address it during the prep phase.

Phoenix monsoon storms deliver heavy rain in short bursts, 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 Phoenix soil expands and contracts with heat and moisture. Proper prep prevents those outcomes.

We provide site preparation for hardscaping projects across Phoenix, including patios, retaining walls, walkways, and outdoor living areas. Each project starts with a site assessment before any work begins.

Very happy with the work that Dodge and his team have done so far at our new home in Phoenix. He was very responsive and the system he uses to manage billing and quotes is very user friendly. The initial project we contacted him for was grading our yard after tree removal to prepare for fence installation, but we will now be using his company for lawn maintenance and future landscaping project this Fall. In addition, he installed two new driveway areas. He does a great job communicating and setting expectations.

Get out of Dodge Landscaping has been performing snow removal, grass mowing, and landscaping work for our HOA community of 28 town homes and we are incredibly happy with the service. Communication from Dodge is always strong, especially during snowstorms when quick decisions on services are needed. Dodge goes above and beyond to communicate with our HOA and has worked with us to only perform snow removal services that are needed. This has helped our HOA save our limited budget compared to our previous landscaping company that felt like they bankrupted us each Winter. I highly recommend Get out of Dodge Landscaping to anyone looking for a quality landscaper they can trust.

I’m very pleased with the spring cleanup done at our house. The guys worked hard and did an excellent job, they did not cut any corners. The price was very reasonable and Dodge has been very communicative the whole way. Happy customer

I cannot say enough about this company. They recently did a complete sod removal and new sod installation along with several other garden work. This was the second time I called on them in the last 3 years and I wont ever use anybody else. When I say they are the most competent , cost efficient, attention to detail guys, it’s not an understatement. It’s hard to find a solid company that does great work at affordable prices but this company does just that. Highly recommend!

I had noticed Dodge doing work for a neighbor here in Sykesville and asked him for a quote to take out old flower boxes next to my driveway and put in a nice pathway. We are more than pleased with the results. Thanks for the great work! Larry & Priscilla
