Why you can’t put lawn care on hold in the summer

Your air conditioning unit works hard to keep your home cool and comfortable through Kentucky’s hot summers. The truth is, many homeowners don’t realize that soil erosion, water runoff, and shifting ground can put their outdoor unit at risk. Over time, these issues can cause debris buildup, water damage, or even impact how efficiently your system runs. The good news? A simple landscaping solution can make all the difference: a retaining wall.

Pooling water in your yard might seem like a small nuisance, but it can signal a much bigger problem. In many cases, standing water around your home is caused by old, cracked, or blocked drain pipes. When your downspouts can’t properly move water away from your house, it can damage your lawn, stress your foundation, and in severe cases, even cause water to leak inside your home. We had a customer in the Fern Creek, KY area who reached out with this exact issue. As you can see in the photos their drain pipe was blocked, very worn, and frankly needed replaced.
