On lake-plain ground the first question is never which plants — it is where the water goes. Fix that and everything installed afterward lasts. Skip it and you buy the same landscape twice.
Where we work from: our shop is at 7980 OH-249, Hicksville, OH. Clinton is inside our core service area.
Soil and drainage in Clinton
Where a property has no low point at all, the design changes from moving water to managing it. That means shallow surface storage sized to the roof and drive area it serves, an overflow path that fails safely, and planting that tolerates standing water for a day or two. What it never means is a dry well, which on this ground is simply a hole that fills.
Where there is genuinely nowhere to send water, the answer is storage and slow release rather than a pipe to nowhere — a properly sized rain garden with amended soil, an overflow path, and plants that tolerate both saturation and drought. Built correctly it handles roof and drive runoff; built as a shallow scrape it is just a wet spot.
What Clinton Township properties need
Long drives are their own project. Grade, a crowned surface that sheds water, ditching at the edges and culverts that are actually clear determine whether a rural drive survives a wet spring — and whether it can be plowed cleanly in January.
We would rather talk a homeowner out of a project than sell one that will not hold. Where drainage has to be solved first, we say so, and where the honest answer is two downspouts and eighty dollars of pipe rather than a full system, we say that too.
Winter in Clinton
Walks and entries deserve their own line item even on a residential drive agreement. They are where people actually fall, and they are the surfaces a plow truck cannot reach.
The most valuable winter preparation happens in November — leaves off the turf so it does not mat under snow and grow snow mold, evergreens watered deeply before the ground freezes, drive and walk edges staked, and drainage outlets cleared so meltwater has somewhere to go.

Why Clinton property owners choose us
This is our home ground
Clinton sits inside the counties we work every week from Hicksville. That shows up most in winter, when distance decides whose driveway gets cleared first.
We fix the water before anything else
Every dollar spent on plants or hardscape sitting on ground that stays wet gets spent twice. On Fulton County soil we diagnose drainage first — and often the honest answer is two downspouts rather than a system.
