The advantage of till country is that a drain usually has somewhere to go. The catch is excavation: till carries gravel, sand lenses and cobble, so what comes out of a trench is far less predictable than the flat clay further north.

Soil and drainage in Moulton
Beds on till respond well to amendment because the base material is workable to start with. Compost worked into the top ten to twelve inches across the whole bed, a defined spade edge, and two to three inches of hardwood mulch gets most properties most of the way there. Where the grade falls toward the house, that gets corrected first — everything else sits on top of it.
Where a property was recently farmland, the plough pan is worth knowing about — a compacted layer left at old tillage depth that roots struggle to cross. Breaking it before establishing turf saves years of a lawn that never quite thickens.
What Moulton 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 are happy to bid against an incumbent. Send the existing specification and we will price it line for line so the comparison is genuinely like for like — and if something in it is unnecessary, or missing, we will say so rather than quietly matching it.
Winter in Moulton
The winter work that protects a landscape is mostly done in November: leaves off the turf so it does not mat under snow and grow snow mold, evergreens watered deeply before the ground freezes so they have a reserve to draw on, drive and walk edges staked, and drainage outlets cleared so meltwater has somewhere to go in February.
Documentation is worth more than most people expect on any property the public walks across. Time-stamped records of what was cleared, when, and what material went down at what rate are exactly what an insurer asks for, and they cannot be reconstructed after a claim.

Why Moulton property owners choose us
We know Auglaize County ground
Auglaize County sits in the Central Lowland till plains, where clay loam over till, workable but prone to compaction where topsoil was stripped for construction. We plan around that rather than applying a template written for another part of the state.
We fix the water before anything else
Every dollar spent on plants or hardscape sitting on ground that stays wet gets spent twice. On Auglaize 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.
