Fix it before it gets worse

Pooling water

Water that sits after every rain has nowhere to go. A drain or a better slope gives it a way out.

Soggy lawn

Ground that stays wet kills grass and turns to mud. We fix the drainage first, then the yard.

Water at the foundation

When the yard slopes toward the house, rain collects against it. Grading and downspout drains send it the other way.

What we do

Drainage comes first: French drains, grading and downspout drains that keep your property dry, usable, and protected. Then we finish the yard.

Yard drainage & French drains

Drainage designed to move water away from your home, not into it. A French drain is a gravel-lined trench around perforated pipe: water soaks in and the pipe carries it off. We also put in yard and foundation drainage systems.

Grading & water diversion

The shape of the ground decides where rain runs. We regrade yards so water drains away from the house, and leave a smooth base ready for sod.

Sod installation

From patchy, uneven ground to a clean, smooth, healthy yard. Proper grading goes in first, then fresh sod on top.

Retaining walls

A retaining wall holds soil where the yard changes level, so a slope or raised bed doesn’t wash toward the house. We build them alongside drainage, grading and sod work.

We also do

  • Sump pump installs
  • Downspout drains & extensions
  • Erosion control
  • Catch basins & drain pipe
  • Fencing
  • Concrete

Outstanding experience from start to finish. The team was professional, quick, and delivered top-quality work. The sod looks amazing and completely transformed the yard.
