Signs that indicate drainage problems include: standing water that persists 24+ hours after rainfall, soggy areas in your lawn, water seeping into your basement, eroded soil around your foundation, or dying plants/grass in specific areas. During our free consultation, we'll help identify if and what type of drainage solution would benefit your property.

A French drain is a trench filled with gravel and a perforated pipe that redirects surface and groundwater away from an area. Water enters the pipe through small holes or slots and is carried away from problem areas to a more suitable drainage location. It's an effective solution for many residential drainage issues because it works with gravity and remains largely hidden in the landscape.

Most residential drainage projects are completed within 1-3 days, depending on the system's complexity, the size of your property, and soil conditions. Larger projects may take longer. We'll provide a specific timeline estimate during your consultation.

We design drainage systems to blend seamlessly with your landscape. Most components are buried underground with only drainage grates visible in strategic locations. We can often incorporate these visible elements into your landscape design so they're unobtrusive or even decorative.

Properly installed drainage systems require minimal maintenance. We recommend annual inspections to check for any debris blockage in drainage grates or outlets. Some systems may benefit from periodic flushing every few years to clear any sediment buildup. We'll provide specific maintenance recommendations for your system.
