Additionally, to address erosion and sediment control issues it’s critical to have the necessary experience and credentials. That’s why The Ricks Group Landscaping Management carries the Georgia Erosion & Sediment Control Blue Card Certification.  The trusted residential landscape company in Suwanee GA will implement one or more of the following techniques:

• French Drains: These involve a perforated pipe buried in a gravel trench, redirecting excess water away from vulnerable areas.
• Dry Wells: A subsurface structure designed to collect and gradually disperse stormwater into the ground, preventing surface runoff.
• Grading and Sloping: Adjusting the landscape’s slope to direct water away from buildings and pathways, minimizes pooling and soil displacement.
• Dry Creek Bed: A dry creek bed is a linear arrangement of rocks and boulders used to collect excess storm water runoff. Furthermore, it is a man-made landscape feature that looks like a stream or creek but is dry most of the time.
• Retaining Walls: Retaining walls can be an effective solution for stormwater management by controlling erosion, directing water flow, and preventing flooding. Retaining walls include built-in drainage solutions like weep holes, gravel backfill, and perforated pipes to manage excess water and prevent pressure buildup behind the wall.

Driveway and Patio Pavers: Enhancing Durability and Aesthetic Appeal

Installing driveway and patio pavers not only enhances curb appeal but also increases the functionality and usability of outdoor spaces by up to 50%. Utilize these essential construction techniques to ensure longevity in the paved patio or driveway:

• Base Preparation: A strong foundation is key to the longevity of pavers. Contractors excavate the area, install a compacted gravel base, and apply a layer of sand for leveling.
• Edge Restraints: To prevent shifting and maintain the structure’s integrity, edge restraints are installed along the perimeter using concrete or plastic edging.
• Interlocking Patterns: Pavers are arranged in interlocking patterns that distribute weight evenly, reducing the likelihood of cracking or movement.
• Sealing and Joint Sand: A final layer of polymeric sand is applied between pavers and sealed to prevent weed growth and water infiltration.

As a Techo-Pro contractor, The Ricks Group is proud to recommend the full line of beautiful Techo-Bloc products. Techo-Bloc offers a wide selection of pavers that vary in shape, size and color to fit your unique style.

The Ricks Group landscape company in Suwanee GA employ the following methods to ensure stability and durability:

• Proper Footing and Base: Excavation and installation of a compacted gravel base provides a solid foundation to prevent shifting.
• Drainage Considerations: Incorporating drainage pipes or gravel backfill is essential fort preventing hydrostatic pressure buildup, reducing the risk of wall failure.
• Construction with Reinforcement: Depending on wall height, reinforcement techniques such as geogrid fabric or rebar reinforcement add strength to withstand soil pressure.
