Our Yard Drainage Correction Services

Full-property drainage assessment

We trace where water enters, travels, and stalls before proposing anything.

Surface regrading

Reshaping swales and slope so gravity does the work first.

Subsurface drain systems

Piped collection where the surface fix alone will not be enough.

Soil decompaction & amendment

Restoring infiltration in compacted construction clay.

Erosion repair

Filling and stabilizing the channels runoff has already cut.

Turf restoration

Sod or seed once the water problem is actually solved.

Why a Spot Holds Water — and What Fixes It

A simple test: water gone within a few hours after rain is normal. Water still standing after 24 hours means the ground isn't taking it and it needs somewhere to go.

More: how to fix a yard that won't drain, swale vs. pipe. All drainage services.

Yes, once the water is managed. We handle sod or seed as part of the job.
