Frequently Asked Questions

  • How do you fix standing water and slope runoff in a Sacramento backyard?

    Standing water and slope runoff are solved by grading the yard to redirect flow, installing French drains or catch basins, and routing water away from structures. The right combination depends on soil type, slope severity, and how much water volume the yard collects during a typical Sacramento rainy season.
  • Can one contractor handle design, irrigation, drainage, and hardscaping for a full backyard renovation in Sacramento?

    Yes, A.D. Landscape Service handles design, irrigation, drainage, and hardscaping as a single integrated project so every system is planned to work together from the start. Bundling everything under one contractor eliminates the coordination gaps that cause drainage and irrigation systems to conflict with each other or with finished hardscape.
  • What is an irrigation audit and when do I need one?

    An irrigation audit is a systematic inspection of your sprinkler or drip system to identify leaks, uneven coverage, clogged emitters, and scheduling inefficiencies. You need one if your water bills are rising unexpectedly, patches of your yard are dying or waterlogged, or you have not had the system evaluated since installation.
  • Do you offer financing for landscape and backyard renovation projects?

    Yes, financing options are available for landscape projects, which makes it easier to complete irrigation, drainage, and hardscaping work in one phase rather than spreading it across multiple seasons. Ask about financing options when you request your project estimate.
  • What does a retaining wall cost and when do I need one in my Sacramento backyard?

    Retaining wall cost depends on the wall's height, length, material chosen, and how much grading or excavation the site requires, so no fixed price applies to every project. You need a retaining wall when sloped ground is eroding, causing drainage problems, or preventing you from creating a flat usable outdoor space.
  • Where can I hire a local design-build irrigation and drainage contractor in Sacramento for a backyard renovation?

    A.D. Landscape Service is a Sacramento-based contractor that provides design-build services covering irrigation, drainage, grading, and hardscaping for backyard renovations. Working with a single local design-build firm means the drainage plan, irrigation layout, and hardscape are engineered together rather than patched together by separate crews.
