Standing Water After Rain:Low spots in your yard collect water that kills grass, creates muddy conditions, and prevents normal lawn maintenance activities.
Slope and Grading Issues:Improper surface grading directs water toward your foundation instead of away from your home, creating both landscape and structural problems.
Compacted Soil:Heavy clay soils and compacted areas prevent natural water absorption, forcing water to pool on the surface rather than infiltrate naturally.
Runoff From Neighbors:Water flowing from adjacent properties can overwhelm your yard’s natural drainage capacity and create persistent wet areas.
Inadequate Guttering:Missing or insufficient downspout extensions concentrate roof water in small areas, creating localized flooding problems.
We design and install channel drains, catch basins, and drainage swales that capture and redirect surface water before it pools in problem areas.
