Landscape Drainage
Stop Standing Water for Good With Professional Drainage Solutions
If your yard holds water after every rain, that’s not something to just live with — it’s a solvable problem, and getting the right solution matters more than getting the fastest one.
What is Landscape Drainage?
Landscape drainage refers to the methods and systems used to manage excess water on a property.
Proper drainage ensures that water does not pool in unwanted areas, which can lead to erosion, damage to plant life, and issues with the foundation of your home.
Our landscape drainage solutions include various techniques such as grading, French drains, and retaining walls, all designed to direct water away from critical areas.

Common Drainage Problems We Solve
Standing water, soggy grass, or water rising near your foundation are all signs of a drainage issue worth addressing. We handle:
Standing water & soggy yards
Persistent puddles or waterlogged grass after rain, even once storms have passed.
Water near the foundation
Water pooling or rising at the base of your home — a concern worth addressing before it becomes a structural issue.
Poor grading
Yards where the slope directs water toward the house or low points instead of away from them.
High-volume runoff situations
Properties dealing with significant water volume from new construction, changed drainage patterns, or heavy storm events.
Understanding Your Drainage Options
Drainage isn’t one solution — it’s a set of tools, and the right one depends on your specific yard.
- French drains — A system of underground drainage pipe, sediment barrier, and rock designed to carry and distribute water. French drains require significant elevation change and precise construction to work properly; they're typically best suited for large-scale water remediation projects rather than routine yard drainage.
- Grading — Adjusting the slope of your yard to direct water flow away from your home, reducing the risk of pooling and erosion at the source.
- Swales — Shallow, shaped depressions designed to manage water runoff and promote infiltration into the soil, often a simpler and more reliable solution than a full pipe system.
- Traditional pipe drainage — Most of our installations use non-perforated pipe, since the goal in most yards is to move water efficiently rather than collect and slowly distribute it into ground that's already saturated.
- Sump pump systems — For higher-volume situations, pump systems (sometimes with battery backup) can move large volumes of water reliably, even during major storm events.

If you see standing water in your yard during heavy rain, or notice soggy grass that doesn’t dry out, that’s a sign of a drainage issue worth addressing — even if your house itself isn’t at risk of flooding.
A French drain uses underground pipe, rock, and sediment barrier to carry and distribute water, and requires real elevation change to work well. A swale is a shaped surface depression that manages runoff and promotes infiltration — often a simpler, more reliable option for typical yards.
We primarily use non-perforated pipe, since most drainage installations are meant to move water efficiently rather than collect it slowly into already-saturated ground. We can discuss either option depending on your situation.
Yes — water pooling or rising near the base of your home is worth addressing proactively, even if it hasn’t caused visible damage yet.
Not usually for typical residential yards. French drains require significant elevation change and precise construction, and are more often the right fit for large-scale projects than routine yard drainage.
