The clay here was made farmable by an enormous network of tile, and residential lots carved out of that ground inherit whatever the tile was doing. A collapsed line shows up as a soft spot that no amount of topsoil corrects.
Where we work from: our shop is at 7980 OH-249, Hicksville, OH. Lemoyne is inside our core service area.
Soil and drainage in Lemoyne
Foundation grade is the cheapest correction available and the one most often missed. The ground within ten feet of a house should fall roughly six inches; on older properties eighty years of settlement has usually reversed it, and no amount of interior work fixes water that is being delivered to the wall from outside.
Old agricultural tile still runs under a great many residential lots here, and when a line collapses it shows up as a soft spot that never firms up no matter how much topsoil goes into it. We probe and trace before digging, then either repair the line or replace its function with a system that has a documented outlet.
What Lemoyne properties need most
Properties out here often sit on ground that was farmland within living memory, and they inherit its drainage. Old tile still runs under a great many residential lots, and when a line collapses you get a soft spot that never firms up no matter how much topsoil goes into it. We probe and trace before digging rather than guessing.
Nothing about a written scope is unusual to ask for: itemised work, material specifications, a plant schedule with species and sizes, what is excluded, a start window and payment terms. A contractor who resists putting those on paper is telling you something worth hearing.
Winter in Lemoyne
A typical winter here produces more ice events than deep snow, which changes what matters in an agreement: material selection by pavement temperature, calibrated application rates, and pre-treatment ahead of forecast freezes rather than reaction afterward.
Salt damage compounds if it is never addressed. The dead strip of turf along a drive gets a little wider each spring, and the fix is calibrated rates, salt-tolerant planting in the first few feet, and repairing the edge each year rather than watching it spread.

Why Lemoyne property owners choose us
This is our home ground
Lemoyne 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 Wood County soil we diagnose drainage first — and often the honest answer is two downspouts rather than a system.
46 Google reviews, licensed and insured
Verbatim reviews from neighbours across the region, full coverage on every crew and machine, and financing available so a full plan can be built in one season.
One contractor for all four seasons
Landscaping April through November and snow and ice through the winter, from the same crews. The people who stake a drive in November are the people who mowed it in July.
