DRAINAGE WORK

Solutions for all your water runoff issues!

Downspouts and French drains can fix this issue for many yards or commercial properties that have developed a lake next to the structure. If you are worried about runoff at your property, our team also has solutions to fix those issues as well.

Downspouts

Downspouts allow the water to drain away from your house and out to the street or a nearby creek. We will survey your yard to determine the best way to fix the problem in the most inconspicuous way possible.

Runoff Issues

Stormwater on the way to sewers will carry the fertilizers, oil, sediments, bacteria and other chemicals and deposit it into our waterways. To prevent this from happening we can provide the following solutions:

  • Plant plants and trees, their root systems help absorb the water, and tree canopies help distribute the water over a larger area.
  • Replace concrete slabs with pavers or flagstones
  • Choose permeable materials for paths, patios, and driveways
  • Set up run off catchers to capture the water coming off roofs
  • Add a shallow, gravel filled trench to catch runoff
  • Add a rain garden in low areas or near downspouts

French Drains

French Drains are excellent solutions to help eliminate excess water from your yard or business lot. We will identify where the majority of the water is pooling your your yard and then discuss the best place for the water to go with you. We’ll then get your yard marked, dig a trench so we can direct the water away from the area and away from your property and neighboring properties, line the trench, lay the pipe, connect it to the drain, cover it with either gravel or dirt and sod.
