French Drain Installation
French drains collect and redirect water through a perforated underground pipe surrounded by drainage rock.
They are commonly installed in lawns, side yards, and other areas where water collects below the surface. The system helps move excess moisture away from problem areas while remaining mostly hidden beneath the landscaping.
Catch Basins and Underground Drainage
Catch basins collect surface water from low areas before directing it through underground drainage pipes to a safer discharge location.
They can be installed in lawns, planting beds, patios, and other areas where rainwater regularly pools. Multiple catch basins may also be connected to create a more complete yard drainage system.
Channel Drains for Patios and Hardscaping
Channel drains are designed to collect water across paved areas such as patios, walkways, driveways, and concrete surfaces.
Installing a channel drain can help prevent water from collecting against structures or flowing into areas where it may damage landscaping and hardscaping.
Drainage Installation for Your Property
Every property has different elevations, soil conditions, landscaping, and water-flow patterns. We evaluate where water is collecting, where it is coming from, and how it can be redirected effectively.
Your drainage system will be planned around the specific layout of your property to help improve water flow and reduce recurring pooling, erosion, and oversaturated soil.
Frequently Asked Questions
What type of drainage system does my yard need?
The right system depends on where the water is coming from and where it collects. French drains are often used for subsurface moisture, while catch basins and channel drains are designed to collect surface water. Some properties may benefit from a combination of drainage solutions.
Why does water keep pooling in my yard?
Standing water may be caused by low areas, compacted soil, improper grading, blocked runoff paths, downspout discharge, or the absence of a proper drainage system.
Can you install drainage in an existing landscape?
Yes. Drainage systems can be added to established lawns, planting beds, side yards, patios, and other landscaped areas. The installation plan will depend on the existing layout and the severity of the drainage problem.
What is the difference between a French drain and a catch basin?
A French drain collects water that has entered the soil and redirects it through a perforated underground pipe. A catch basin collects surface water from a specific low point and sends it through solid underground drainage piping.
Can yard drainage help prevent soil erosion?
Yes. A properly designed drainage system can redirect runoff before it washes away soil, mulch, or landscaping materials.
Where does the drainage water go?
Water is directed toward an appropriate discharge area based on the property’s layout and applicable local requirements. The outlet location is determined during the drainage assessment.
