Why is my Westfield lawn always soggy?

Persistent sogginess usually comes down to grading, soil, or a high water table — common in Westfield's lower-elevation areas near Mindowaskin Park and Echo Lake. The fix depends on the cause: sometimes regrading, sometimes a French drain or dry well, sometimes switching to moisture-tolerant plantings. We diagnose the water path before prescribing a solution.

How much does yard drainage work cost in Westfield?

It varies widely with the size of the problem — a simple downspout redirect is inexpensive, while a full French-drain system or major regrade is a larger project. Because drainage protects your foundation and everything else you plant, it's often the highest-value project to tackle first. Every estimate is free and itemized.

Can landscaping help with water in my basement?

Often, yes. A surprising amount of basement moisture starts outside — poor grading directing water toward the foundation, or downspouts dumping right beside it. Correcting the grade, extending downspouts, and adding subsurface drainage frequently reduces or eliminates the problem before you ever need interior waterproofing.
