Make more of the grounds you have
A sloping garden can become a series of useful spaces. A worn approach can become a welcoming entrance. The work may begin with excavation or drainage, but the result should feel at home with the house and landscape.
We bring groundwork, stonework, planting and ongoing care together. That lets you address a difficult area and finish it properly, from the new levels to the lawn and garden around them.

Planning care or construction
Why is part of the lawn always wet?
The low point may be where you see the problem, rather than where it begins. We consider incoming water, grades and an outlet before recommending drainage or reshaping the ground.
Can a slope become useful outdoor space?
Stone steps, retaining walls and terraces can make changes in level easier to use. We connect the masonry with drainage and planting so the result feels part of the grounds.
What happens after excavation?
We can carry the work through finish grading, lawn establishment and planting. The access route and surrounding ground deserve the same attention as the new feature.
What excavation work can you take on?
Kindred handles site preparation, earthmoving, utility trenching, foundation excavation, grading and drainage. Tell us the location, the work you need and your intended timing. Existing plans help define the scope.
