Evanston, Illinois
BEFORE WORK:
Our Evanston client wanted to remedy the dangerous freeze/thaw icing on their back stairs and concrete patio.
A major concern of the client was flooding by the garage door which made the area impassable in big rain events without rainboots.
AFTER:
A landing was created by rebuilding the stairs out the back door, providing flow to the client's favorite grilling area.
Rain water from the back roof of the house was diverted under a seating patio area to create a second, larger rain garden.
Impervious concrete removed! By carefully regrading the property to put water where we wanted it and using pea gravel for better infiltration, all of the client's concerns were addressed.
No more icy stairs. The Northwest corner downspout was right off the stairs.
