Grading & Drainage

Over-watering your landscape can create just as much damage to your property as not enough.  In fact, most landscape plants don’t like “wet feet”! In the case of heavy rainfall, having storm water sit on top of landscape areas or around structures can quickly lead to significant problems. Our effective surface water management techniques will help move the excess water away from your buildings and landscape.

A combination of grading, underground pipes and catch basins will convey water out of the low areas within your landscape, or spread it out more evenly so that it can be naturally absorbed into the soil without saturation. In some affected areas, we can install a “French Drain” which consists of a gravel-filled trench that allows even more water to percolate through beneath the surface and away from collection areas.
