Stanley is a small town in northern Gaston County, close to the Lincoln County line and a short drive from the western side of Lake Norman. Southern Style Turf & Design serves Stanley as a mobile business. We don't have an office in town; we drive to your property, look at the yard in person, and do the work on site with our own crew.
Most calls we get from this part of Gaston County start with water: a soggy side yard, a low spot that never dries out, or runoff from a neighbor's lot. That's why drainage and grading sit at the top of the list below.
Stanley sits on the rolling Piedmont ground that covers most of Gaston County. Lots are rarely flat, and the soil under the topsoil is usually dense red clay. Clay drains slowly. Once it's saturated after a heavy summer thunderstorm, water sits on the surface or runs downhill toward whatever is lowest, which is often a foundation, crawl space vent or driveway.
Newer homes add another layer. When a lot is built out, equipment compacts the subsoil and the finished grade is sometimes shaped just enough to pass inspection. Over a few years the soil settles, swales flatten, and downspouts that once emptied onto a slope end up emptying into a puddle. Older homes have the opposite problem: grades that have shifted over decades and drainage that was never planned in the first place.
Listed roughly in order of how often they fit Stanley properties. All work is done by our own crew.

No. We're a mobile service-area business with no customer-facing office. We come to your Stanley property for the estimate and for the work.
Usually because the clay under your topsoil is holding water and the grade doesn't give it anywhere to go. The fix depends on whether the water is sitting on the surface or moving underground, which is what we check during the site visit.
Yes. Our free Drainage Helper tool asks a few questions about what you're seeing and suggests likely causes. It's a starting point, not a replacement for someone looking at the yard.
