Sod, seed, topsoil, concrete and asphalt patching so your yard and driveway look good again after the trench is closed.
The work is not finished until the ground looks like nobody was ever there. A trench that is closed but left as a muddy scar frustrates owners, and a poorly patched driveway invites cracks and puddles. Restoration is the last step, and it is the one the neighbors notice.
We restore trench lines and excavation areas with compacted backfill, topsoil, fine grading and sod or seed with straw. Concrete walks and drives are patched with straight, saw-cut edges and a finish that matches as closely as possible. Asphalt patches are cut square, compacted and sealed at the joint. We water and advise on aftercare so the lawn takes.
A trench line that is too low collects water and sinks further. We leave a slight crown, then settle it, so the surface drains and holds its shape after rain.
Topsoil depth, seed or sod choice and watering decide whether the lawn grows back. Fresh sod over loose fill will die, so we compact and prepare the base.
Concrete patches need clean saw cuts, proper base and the right finish. Asphalt patches need compaction and sealed edges. A neat, straight patch lasts longer and looks better.
New sod needs daily watering at first and seed needs consistent moisture. Neglect in the first weeks is the main reason restored lawns fail.

Compacted backfill, grading, sod or paving repair and a walk-through with you.
Sod gives the quickest result, and seed takes longer. Both need water and time to blend in.
Wait until the sod has rooted, usually a few weeks, or until the seed has grown tall enough.
We match as closely as possible. Color and texture rarely match perfectly, but clean edges help the patch blend.
Yes. We can fix trenches left by others, including sunken lines and rough patches.
Often daily for the first couple of weeks, then taper off. Keep it moist but not soaked.
