Grading & Drainage Solutions
Precision Grading & Swales
Precision grading to create a pitch away from your home, protect your foundation, and move water out of problem areas. This is the first step in every successful landscaping project.
Catch Basins with Buried Drainage Pipes
We install catch basins to move surface water out of problem areas through buried drainage pipes. Frequent uses: to improve drainage next to a patio or driveway, to help manage water in a high-volume swale, and in more challenging grading areas with limited available pitch.
Drain Tile (French Drains)
We install buried drain tile (French Drains) to address subsurface water in slow drying areas. Frequent uses: to help an active swale dry out faster, to address large/flat/soggy yard areas, and along the base of a slope to collect subsurface water and move it off your property.
Buried Downspout Pipes & Buried Sump Pump Pipes
A great way to move downspout and sump pump water away from your home is through buried drainage pipes. We use Schedule 40 PVC or Triple Wall HDPE pipes for durability, “T” Connections for clean out access, and ‘pop-up’ drains or ‘miter drains’ to discharge.
EPDM Rubber Liner
An EPDM rubber liner can be added to a grading project for a dry basement and additional peace of mind. We cover the liner with decorative stone for low maintenance and a finished look.
