Landscaping, Irrigation & Concrete in Beaumont

A new house in Beaumont is handed over at rough grade. Under the clay-and-melt conditions here, that grade is the single most important thing about the yard, so we start there: shape the lot so water leaves the house on all sides and reaches the swale between properties, then bring in topsoil deep enough to grow grass rather than merely cover the ground.

Sod goes down after that, not before. Then the beds get cut and edged, the rock or mulch goes in, and the trees and shrubs are chosen for what will actually take a full-sun, full-wind yard with no canopy over it.

Doing the whole sequence in one project with one crew is cheaper and faster than doing it in pieces over three summers, and it means the irrigation goes in while the lot is still open.

An unshaded new lawn on clay dries out faster than people expect, and hand watering it through a hot week is a losing exercise. We design and install sprinkler systems for lawns and drip lines for beds, zoned so a bed against a south wall is not on the same schedule as the strip beside the fence.

The install belongs before the sod. Once a lawn is established, adding a system means trenching through it and living with the scars, so if landscaping is happening anyway, the irrigation should happen inside the same job.

We service existing systems as well — spring start-up with the heads checked and adjusted, repairs through the season, and the fall blowout before the first hard frost, which in this region can arrive in September.

Most Beaumont concrete work is additive rather than replacement, because the houses are not old enough yet for the original slabs to have failed. Driveway widening, a rear pad, a patio off the back, side paths, garden steps and poured curb edging to keep the rock out of the lawn.

Sloped lots need more thought than flat ones. A patio or path that traps water against the house is worse than no patio at all, so we set the slope and the drainage before we form anything.

Where an older Beaumont property does need replacement, we take the slab out, correct the base and the grade underneath and pour a new one rather than resurfacing over a problem that will come straight back through.

We run winter snow work in Beaumont with our own skid steers, plows and blowers — residential driveways and walkways including the ridge the plow leaves across the apron, and commercial lots and entrances that need to be open before the business is.

Through the growing season we also keep properties maintained: mowing and edging, weeding, mulch top-ups, spring and fall clean-ups, and seasonal flower rotations for properties that want the beds changed over rather than left alone.
