Get rid of soggy spots and puddles that never seem to dry out.
Yard Drainage & Standing Water Solutions
If you’re tired of walking through squishy grass or seeing puddles sit for days after it rains, you likely have a drainage issue.
We start by walking the property, looking at how water flows, where it collects and how the soil drains.
Then we recommend solutions—from minor grading changes to added drain lines—that move water to better locations and help your lawn and landscaping recover.
Site evaluation to see how and where water is collecting
Solutions for low spots, saturated lawn areas and soft ground
Long-term fixes aimed at improving yard usability and plant health
Move roof water away from your foundation and walkways.
Downspout Extensions & Gutter Drain Lines
Your gutters collect a huge amount of water during storms—and if that water dumps right at the base of your home, it can lead to wet basements, washed-out mulch and icy spots in winter.
We install downspout extensions and underground drain lines to carry roof runoff away from foundations, walkways and planting beds, helping protect both your home and your landscaping.
Downspout extensions to direct water farther into the yard
Underground drain piping to move water to safe discharge points
Solutions aimed at reducing foundation moisture and erosion around beds
Re-shape the ground so water flows where it should.
Grading & Slope Correction
Sometimes the problem isn’t how much water you get, but where the ground is sending it.
We use light excavation and grading to adjust slopes so water flows away from structures and doesn’t collect in the wrong places.
This can be part of a new lawn or landscape install, or a standalone correction for yards that were never graded properly to begin with.
Re-grading around homes, patios and problem areas
Creating subtle slopes to encourage proper runoff
Integrating grading work with future lawn, landscape or hardscape plans
Hidden systems that quietly move water out of your way.
French Drains, Dry Wells & Swales
For properties with persistent water issues, surface changes alone may not be enough.
We can incorporate French drains, dry wells and shallow swales to collect and redirect water below or just above the surface.
These systems are designed to blend into your lawn and landscape while quietly carrying water away from saturated areas.
French drains to collect subsurface water and redirect it
Dry wells and collection points for controlled water dispersal
Swales that guide water through the yard without creating eyesores
Protect hardscapes from pooling water and freeze-thaw damage.
Drainage for Patios, Walkways & Driveways
Hard surfaces like patios, walks and driveways need special attention so water doesn’t pool, freeze or push against your foundation.
When we install or update hardscapes, we factor drainage into the design with proper pitch, channels or nearby drain systems.
We can also evaluate existing areas where water sits against your house or on the surface and recommend improvements.
Ensuring proper pitch away from homes and structures
Adding drains or relief areas near patios, steps and walks
Evaluating existing hardscapes with water issues and proposing fixes
