Tennis Court Addition in Stamford, CT

Continuation of an existing stone wall (our previous work), additional retaining walls, extensive drainage, and a large native stone step and boulder staircase were included in the project.

Home Drainage Project in Rowayton, CT
Femia was contacted to solve a complicated drainage problem in the back yard of this Rowayton, CT home. During the discovery phase, we learned that the homeowners planned to add a swimming pool at a later date so we were able to plan accordingly, saving the owners money when they are ready to install the pool.
With our state-of-the-art camera we located a drain that was connected to an infiltrator system and discovered that it had been incorrectly installed by another contractor. With our client and a landscape architecture firm, we created a design for the yard that included an extensive drainage system and pump chamber to handle surface water, an infiltrator system, as well as an extension of the patio and addition of a sitting wall.
