Yard Drainage Systems

Standing water after every storm isn't just an inconvenience. It can undermine a deck's footings, erode your yard, and make outdoor space unusable for days at a time. We install yard drainage systems, including French drains, designed to move water away from your foundation, deck posts and low-lying areas before it becomes a problem.

A proper drainage plan looks at where water actually collects on your property and routes it somewhere it won't cause damage, rather than just moving the problem a few feet over.

It's often the difference between an outdoor living space you can use right after it rains and one you have to wait days for.

A French drain works by giving water an easier path to follow than the one it's currently taking through your yard: a perforated pipe wrapped in gravel and fabric channels water underground to a spot where it can drain safely away from the house, deck posts or low areas that collect it after every storm. We also tie in downspout extensions and address grading issues where the yard itself is sloped toward the house instead of away from it. In some cases a sump pump is the right solution for a persistently wet low spot that gravity alone can't drain fast enough. Every drainage project starts with actually watching where the water goes during and after a storm, not guessing at it from a dry yard.
