Comprehensive Yard Drainage Solutions Offered
Surface Drainage
Using carefully designed grading, swales, and channeling methods to guide rainwater away from trouble spots—keeping your yard dry and functional without invasive trenching .
French Drains (Subsurface Solutions)
A perforated pipe wrapped in filter fabric, surrounded by gravel or rock, installed underground to capture and redirect subsurface moisture. Ideal near foundations, retaining walls, or consistently saturated areas.
Rain Gardens & Bioswales (Eco‑Friendly Options)
Attractive landscaped depressions or vegetated channels planted with moisture-tolerant, native species. They collect runoff, naturally filter water, support biodiversity, and reduce stormwater strain on community systems. Check out this article at The Spruce for more information.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need professional drainage?
Look for persistent puddles 24+ hours post-rain, soft spots, erosion channels, or water stains on foundation walls. These signs indicate drainage fails that deserve expert attention.
Can I DIY a French Drain?
You can, but it requires precise slope grading, fabric installation, trench depth (8–24″), and proper pipe placement. Professionals minimize risk, ensure performance, and back their work with experience .
What landscaping options are most sustainable?
