Drainage Swale and Drain Tile in Waukesha, WI

Project Information

  • Project Type: Drainage Solutions
  • Project Location: Waukesha, WI

This project involves a newer construction home that was never graded properly by the developer.  This resulted in water pooling throughout the yard as well as mushy and soft lawn areas days after a rain.

The existing catch basin located in the corner of the property was installed at the correct height, but the lawn was graded poorly.

A significant amount of earth had to be excavated to allow for the water to drain towards the catch basin.

Finish grading takes place to smooth out any remaining highs and lows and to prepare for new topsoil.
French drain being added to Waukesha lawn
A drain tile system (a.k.a French drain) is added in the center of the swale to help remove any subsurface water.
Drain tile being backfilled with limestone chips
The drain tile is then backfilled with limestone chips.
Drainage grates being added to Waukesha yard
To help capture more water, catch basins were added to the swale and then piped to the end of the swale.
New topsoil is added after all of the grading is complete to prepare for new seed and erosion control.
The swale is complete and all of the water will now discharge at the city catch basin.
The lawn has come in nicely and it looks like no work was ever performed.
From start to finish, this large swale project was completed in 2 days.
