Is this the right page?
This is for you if
- Water, slope, soil or repeated turf failure is driving the project
- The visible symptom has already returned after a surface-only fix
- Drainage, grading, sod and planting may need to be coordinated
- You want the cause reviewed before the finish is selected
- The property is in Gwinnett County or North Atlanta
This is not the page if
- You need indoor waterproofing or foundation repair
- You only need routine mowing
- You want new sod laid over an unreviewed wet area
- You need work performed on a neighbor's property
The finish keeps failing because the ground never changed.

First, find the cause. Then fix the water or slope. New sod and plants come last.
What one yard project can fix.
Not every yard needs the same work. We choose the parts that fix your problem.
02
Follow the water
Find runoff from the roof or nearby slopes, where it sits and where it can drain.
03
Check the slope
Find low spots and see how the ground moves water across the yard.
04
Soil and access
Plan around red clay, roots, gates, equipment routes and areas we need to protect.
05
Drainage options
Plan downspout pipes, grading, catch basins or a French drain where needed.
06
Turf restoration
Prepare and restore lawn areas with sod or seed after the supporting work is complete.
07
Plants and beds
Rebuild the damaged beds after the water or slope problem is fixed.
08

Send the address, current concern and photos, especially after rain if water is involved.
Walkthrough
Find the cause
LMB checks the water, slope, soil, access and where the problem begins.
Before work
Choose the right order
We write down what gets fixed first, what comes after and what is not included.
On site
Correct the source
Drainage, grading or preparation is completed before the visible surface returns.
Finish
Fix the lawn and beds
We rebuild the lawn, plants and beds included in the plan.
Ground work.
The symptom does not set the price. The correction does.
A small low spot and a long drainage problem can look alike in one photo. LMB walks the property to find the cause and plan the work before giving a price.
What sets the number
- Problem areaThe size, location and number of connected conditions on the property.
- Water and slopeWhere water comes from, how far it must travel and where it can drain.
- Site accessGates, equipment route, red clay, roots and areas that need protection.
- The fixGrading, drains, basins, soil prep or a mix of those jobs.
- RestorationSod, seed, beds, planting and cleanup included after ground work.
The work has to happen in the right order.
A surface fix can look complete while the original condition stays underneath it.
- Replace the failed surfaceUseful when the ground is sound. If water or grade caused the failure, the same pattern can return.
- Install one drainA drain, basin or downspout pipe only works when it fits the full water path.
- Split everything into separate jobsThat can work, but each crew still needs to protect the work that comes next.
- Build one clear planFix the cause first. Then repair the lawn, plants or beds above it.

They were professional, showed up on time, and paid attention to every detail. The results came out even better than I expected.
They did a great job installing sod, painting our fence, mulching and trimming up our bushes. They are super communicative and very polite.
LMB just completed my yard and it looks AMAZING! They were polite on time responsive to my questions and completed the job with hustle and purpose!
From the initial quote to the final walkthrough, their service was incredibly professional and, importantly, very affordable. A special shout-out goes to Bernardo, who was assigned to our project.
