Drainage Services We Offer
Every property has different drainage challenges. Our team evaluates your property's grade, runoff patterns, low spots, downspouts, and existing drainage before recommending a solution. We install custom drainage systems designed to collect, redirect, and properly discharge unwanted water.
French Drain Installation
French drains are designed to collect excess groundwater and help relieve consistently wet or saturated areas. We install properly graded French drain systems using drainage pipe, clean stone, and geotextile fabric to help move water away from problem areas.
Underground Downspout Drainage
Roof runoff can create standing water, erosion, and excessive moisture around your home. We install underground downspout drainage systems that carry roof water away from foundations, landscaping, and low areas to an appropriate discharge point.
Catch Basin Installation
Catch basins collect surface water in low areas where water tends to pool after heavy rain. They can be connected to underground drainage piping to redirect collected water away from lawns, landscapes, patios, and other problem areas.
Channel Drain Installation
Channel drains are ideal for collecting runoff across driveways, patios, walkways, pool decks, and other hardscape surfaces. Proper placement helps intercept water before it reaches areas where pooling or flooding can occur.
Yard Grading & Drainage Correction
Not every drainage problem can be solved with underground pipe. Improper grading can cause water to flow toward your home or collect in low areas. We can reshape and grade problem areas to encourage positive drainage and improve the way water moves across your property.
Pop-Up Emitters & Drainage Outlets
Every drainage system needs an appropriate discharge location. Depending on your property, we can install pop-up emitters and other drainage outlets that allow collected water to discharge away from problem areas.

Signs You May Have a Yard Drainage Problem
Drainage problems aren't always obvious until heavy rain hits. If water isn't properly moving away from your home and outdoor areas, you may notice several warning signs around your property.
Standing Water After Rain
Water that remains in your lawn for hours or days after rainfall can indicate poor grading, compacted soil, or inadequate drainage.
Soggy or Saturated Lawn
Areas that stay consistently soft, muddy, or difficult to mow may be receiving more water than the soil can naturally absorb.
Water Collecting Near Your Foundation
Roof runoff and improper grading can direct water toward your home instead of away from it. Extending downspouts underground or correcting the surrounding drainage may help redirect that water.
Erosion & Washed-Out Landscaping
Fast-moving runoff can wash away mulch, soil, grass, and landscape material. A properly designed drainage system can help control where that water travels.
Water Across Patios, Walkways & Driveways
Hard surfaces can create concentrated runoff. Catch basins and channel drains can help collect water before it pools or flows into unwanted areas.
Overflowing or Poorly Discharging Downspouts
If your downspouts empty directly beside your home or create washed-out areas in the lawn, an underground downspout drainage system may provide a better discharge solution.

Frequently Asked Questions About Yard Drainage
Get answers to common questions about French drains, standing water, downspout drainage, catch basins, and choosing the right drainage solution for your property.
What is the best solution for standing water in my yard?
The best drainage solution depends on why the water is collecting. Poor grading, roof runoff, low areas, and saturated soil can require different solutions. Depending on the property, we may recommend French drains, catch basins, underground downspout drainage, grading, or a combination of drainage methods.
Do French drains help with standing water?
French drains can be effective for managing excess subsurface water and consistently saturated areas. If the problem is primarily surface runoff, a catch basin, grading correction, or another drainage solution may be more appropriate.
Can you bury and extend my downspouts underground?
Yes. We install underground downspout drainage systems designed to carry roof runoff away from foundations, landscaping, and other problem areas to an appropriate discharge location.
How much does a yard drainage system cost?
Drainage costs vary depending on the type of system, length of drainage pipe, excavation requirements, accessibility, grading, materials, and site conditions. We evaluate the property before recommending a drainage solution and providing a project estimate.
How do I know whether I need a French drain or catch basin?
French drains are generally used to collect excess water within saturated soil, while catch basins are designed to capture surface water at specific low points. Some properties benefit from using both as part of a complete drainage system.
Do you provide drainage services throughout Lake Norman?
Yes. Southern Style Turf & Design provides yard drainage services throughout the Lake Norman area, including Denver, Mooresville, Cornelius, Davidson, Huntersville, Troutman, and surrounding communities.

Our Drainage Installation Process
A successful drainage system starts with understanding how water moves across your property. We evaluate the source of the problem and design a solution based on your property's grade, runoff, and drainage needs.
Property & Drainage Evaluation
We inspect standing water, low areas, downspouts, existing drainage, slopes, and runoff patterns to determine where the water is coming from and why it is collecting.
Custom Drainage Plan
Based on the property evaluation, we recommend the appropriate solution. This may include French drains, catch basins, underground downspout drainage, channel drains, grading, or a combination of drainage methods.
Professional Drainage Installation
Our team installs the drainage system with attention to proper slope, collection points, drainage materials, and discharge locations. The goal is to move unwanted water away from problem areas efficiently while minimizing unnecessary disturbance to your property.
Final Grading & Cleanup
Once the drainage system is installed, disturbed areas are graded and cleaned. Depending on the project, affected lawn areas can also be prepared with seed and fertilizer to help restore the property.
Ready to solve your drainage problem?
Drainage problems require more than simply burying pipe. A properly planned system needs to account for your property's grade, water flow, soil conditions, collection points, and a suitable discharge location.
