The ground in Putnam County
Putnam County sits in the Huron–Erie Lake Plain — flat Black Swamp ground broken by the Blanchard and Ottawa river corridors. Drainage across the county is shaped by the Blanchard and Ottawa rivers.
For a landscaper the practical consequence is the soil: dense clay with a seasonally high water table near the rivers, where subsurface drains fill from below instead of draining. Everything else follows from that, which is why the same project can be priced completely differently here than one county over.
Why Putnam County property owners choose us
This is our home ground
Putnam County is inside the counties we work every week from Hicksville. In winter that is the difference between being first on a route and last.
Drainage is diagnosed first
Anything installed on ground that stays wet gets paid for twice. We shoot elevations with a laser level and find the outlet before quoting a system — and sometimes the answer is two downspouts.
46 Google reviews, licensed and insured
Verbatim reviews from homeowners across the region, full coverage on every crew and machine, and financing available on larger projects.
Grounds and snow from one contractor
Landscaping through the season and snow and ice through the winter, from the same crews — which removes the seams where most property problems start.
