Project Work in Lee's Summit

Patios, walls, drainage and design

In Lee's Summit we focus on projects: the work that changes how a yard looks and how it handles water.

🪨

Paver Patios

Patios, seat walls and steps on a compacted stone base, sloped so water runs off. See paver patios →

🧱

Retaining Walls

Block and natural stone walls for sloped lots, with gravel and drainage behind every one. See retaining walls →

💧

Yard Drainage

Standing water, soggy lawns and runoff toward the house fixed with grading, drains and dry creek beds. See drainage →

🔁

French Drains

A gravel-wrapped pipe that pulls water out of the soil and sends it somewhere it can leave. See French drains →

🌳

Landscape Design

Beds, plantings, stone edging and mulch, planned around how the yard drains. See landscaping →

Holiday Lights

Holiday light installation and takedown for the season. See holiday lights →

Local Ground

Built for Lee's Summit lots

A lot of Lee's Summit homes sit in newer neighborhoods, and new construction has a common story underneath the sod. The builder grades the lot, heavy equipment packs the clay down hard, a thin layer of topsoil goes on top, and the sod is rolled out. It looks finished. Then the first big spring storm comes through and the water has nowhere to go: it sits in the low corner, runs along the foundation, or pours off the neighbor's higher lot into yours.

That compacted clay is also why a patio or wall has to start below the surface. A patio set on a few inches of sand over builder fill will settle and heave. Ours start with digging out the soft soil, a stone base compacted in layers, and a slope that sends water away from the house. Walls get free-draining gravel and a way for water to get out from behind them.

Many neighborhoods here also have an HOA. Plan for that up front: we help with HOA approvals and permits when a project needs them, so the drawing your HOA approves is the one we build.

Questions

Lee's Summit FAQ

Do you work in Lee's Summit?

Yes. Lee's Summit is part of our service area. We are based in the Northland, so we book Lee's Summit visits ahead of time. Call or text 816-499-9204 or send the estimate form and we will set a time, including after 5 PM for estimates.

Can you help with my HOA's approval?

Yes. We assist with HOA approvals and permits when a project needs them. We can give you the plan, materials and layout your HOA asks for, so the paperwork matches what we build.

When is the best season to build a patio?

Patios are built when the ground is not frozen or soaked, which in Kansas City means spring through fall. The base matters more than the month: we dig out soft soil, compact stone in layers and slope the patio away from the house. Booking over the winter gets you on the spring schedule early. See how we build paver patios.

My new-build yard holds water. Can you fix it?

Usually, yes. Builder grading often leaves a thin layer of topsoil over compacted clay, so rain sits instead of soaking in. We find where the water can go and build the fix: regrading, a French drain or a dry creek bed.

Yes, Lee's Summit is in our holiday light service area. See holiday light installation for how it works and to request a quote.
