Gastonia is the largest city in Gaston County and its county seat, with a mix of older in-town neighborhoods and newer subdivisions spreading out around it. Southern Style Turf & Design serves Gastonia as a mobile contractor. There's no local office to visit; we come to your home, walk the property with you, and handle the job with our own crew.
Because Gastonia has so many different kinds of lots, the work varies. But the most common thread is water that isn't draining the way it should, and yards that need regrading before anything else can go in.
Like the rest of Gaston County, Gastonia sits in the Piedmont, where rolling terrain and red clay soil are the norm. Clay sheds water fast when it's dry and holds it for days when it's wet. Heavy summer storms can drop more rain in an hour than a compacted yard can absorb, and the runoff heads for the lowest point on the lot.
In older neighborhoods, decades of settling, tree roots and patchwork additions often leave grades that tilt back toward the house. In newer subdivisions, the issue is usually compacted fill and builder grading that wasn't shaped to carry water between closely spaced homes. Either way, adding topsoil to a low spot rarely fixes it for long. The water needs a planned path out.
