  Clear and Safe Driveways Initiative in Indiana

  Free winter driveway clearing for neighbors in needThis winter, we gave back by clearing snowy driveways for residents in Cedar Lake, Lowell, and Crown Point who needed it most. Keeping driveways clear helps prevent slips and falls and keeps everyone safe in icy conditions. For us, it's more than snow removal. It's about building strong ties with the community we serve. Every cleared driveway is a step toward a safer neighborhood.

No more soggy lawn or standing water, just a dry, usable backyard ready for play and relaxation.

  Top Dressing and Seeding at Holy Name Church Cemetery in Cedar Lake

  Top dressing & seeding for healthier cemetery turfCaring for the grounds at Holy Name Church Cemetery in Cedar Lake is work we take seriously. Families come here to remember loved ones, and the condition of the space matters. We top dressed and seeded the bare and thinning spots throughout the cemetery, adding a thin layer of quality material to smooth out low spots and give fresh seed the best environment to take hold. The goal: a consistent, healthy stand of grass so the grounds look clean, cared for, and respectful.

  Failing Limestone Wall Replaced with Boulder Wall in Crown Point

  Natural boulder wall replaces failing limestoneThe old limestone wall holding back this raised bed in Crown Point had shifted, cracked, and run its course. We demoed the failing limestone and rebuilt the border with natural boulders that lock together and stay put without relying on perfect stacking. While the bed was torn apart, we cleaned up the planting layout and refreshed the mulch throughout. The finished bed sits tight against the house and wraps cleanly around the corner with sharp edges, no gaps, and nothing leaning. Built to hold its shape for years.

  Fresh Mulch and Sharp Beds at This Cedar Lake Property

  Fresh mulch across every bed, front to backThis Cedar Lake property had good bones: mature evergreens, a natural stone pathway through the side yard, established shrubs and perennials, and beds wrapping multiple sides of the house. It just needed a finishing layer to pull it all together. We worked through every bed, front, side, and back, laying fresh dark mulch at the right depth and consistency. It makes the stone borders pop, frames the plantings cleanly, and holds moisture while cutting down on weeds. A simple upgrade that makes the whole property look sharp.

  Shed Pad Prep with Land Clearing and Drainage in Crown Point

  Brush clearing, compacted gravel pad & drainageSetting a shed on soft, poorly drained ground is a recipe for a rotting floor. This back corner in Crown Point was heavily overgrown with dense brush, so we used a compact track loader to clear it down to bare ground without tearing up the rest of the yard. We then built a properly compacted gravel pad for a stable, level base that won't shift or settle, and added simple drainage to move water away from the pad. Clearing, grading, and drainage working together means a shed that holds up for years.

  Landscape Rock and Paver Edging at Holy Name Church in Cedar Lake

  Low-maintenance rock beds with crisp paver edgingThe foundation beds at Holy Name Church in Cedar Lake needed a cleaner look and a longer-term, low-maintenance solution. We filled the beds with fresh landscape rock and installed crisp paver edging to define where the beds end and the lawn begins. Unlike mulch, rock doesn't break down or need refreshing every year, which is ideal for properties with limited groundskeeping resources. The edging follows the natural curves of the building, wrapping corners cleanly with a consistent width all the way around for a polished, finished look.

  Fresh Mulch and New Plants Give This Home's Beds a Sharp Look

  Fresh mulch, new plantings & clean bed edgesSometimes a yard just needs the right touch. For this longtime repeat customer, we freshened up the beds with rich, dark mulch, added new plantings to fill things out, and cleaned up every edge. The shaped shrubs, layered plantings, and natural boulders all stand out when the beds are properly maintained, and the mulch helps hold moisture, suppress weeds, and protect roots. Regular maintenance like this keeps the property looking sharp season after season without the homeowner having to think about it.

  20 White Pines Planted to Restore Privacy in Lake Village

  20 white pines rebuild a storm-lost privacy screenThe March tornado wiped out this Lake Village homeowner's tree line along the property edge. We installed 20 white pines to rebuild the privacy screen. They grow fast, stay full, and create a dense buffer that blocks the view and cuts the wind. Each tree went in with a skid steer and hole auger for clean holes at the right depth, setting them up to establish well. The new row runs along the road frontage, with more trees placed deeper into the property. In a few years, this screen will give the property its privacy back, and then some.

  60 Yards of Fill and a Full Backyard Regrade in Lowell

  60 yards of fill, compaction & finish gradingThis Lowell backyard had low spots, uneven ground, and areas that weren't draining properly. We brought in 60 yards of dirt and rough graded the entire area, building up the low spots and establishing the right slope. Where the fill went in deep, we compacted it to prevent settling and soft spots down the road. Then we finish graded everything smooth and even around the yard and structure, leaving a clean surface ready for seed, landscaping, or everyday use. We handled the dirt delivery too, so the homeowner only had one contractor to call.

When they called, we got right to it.

  Heavy Brush Clearing and Gravel Parking Space Build

  Commercial brush clearing & new gravel parkingDense shrubs, tall weeds, and heavy brush had taken over a large section of this commercial property right off the existing concrete. We brought in our Kubota track machine to pull it all out and level the ground. Once the area was cleared and graded, we spread fresh gravel across the entire footprint to create functional parking with good drainage underneath. The new lot connects directly to the existing concrete pad, giving the business better access and a lot more usable space that holds up to traffic without turning to mud.

  Land Clearing, Grading, Seeding and Erosion Control Done Right

  Clearing, grading, drainage pipe & erosion blanketThis problem area was half overgrown, half bare, and draining water in all the wrong directions. We cleared out the weeds and brush, then brought in Kubota track loaders to rough grade the area before finish grading it smooth. To fix the drainage, we ran 60 feet of sump pump pipe out into the woods. Then we seeded the area and covered it with erosion blanket to hold the seed and topsoil in place while the grass establishes. Clearing, grading, drainage, and erosion control, done in the right order so the result holds up.

  Paver Border, Rock, and New Plants Give This Backyard a Finished Look

  Paver border, two-tone decorative rock & new plantingsThe patio and gazebo were already in place, but the space around them still felt unfinished. We installed a clean paver border around the entire bed, laid decorative rock in two contrasting colors, and planted a mix of young trees, grasses, and perennials. Rock beds mean less mowing around tight edges and no mulch to replace every year, while the paver border keeps everything contained and sharp. Trees anchor the corners, perennials fill the middle, and the rock gives the plants a clean backdrop. A backyard with good bones, finished out the right way.

  Bare Clay Backyard Gets Sod, Gravel and Flagstone Makeover

  New sod, gravel zones, paver edging & a flagstone pathThis new-build backyard was nothing but bare clay and compacted dirt, with no grass and no structure. The goal was a yard that's functional, low-maintenance, and full of character. Fresh sod went down to create a clean lawn in the center, framed by paver edging that keeps the grass and gravel where they belong. River rock wraps the patio side, a large gravel pad surrounds the above-ground pool, and a framed gravel shed pad with pressure-treated borders sits in the back corner. A flagstone path ties it all together, giving a solid walking surface from the patio to the pool. Every zone has a purpose.
