Frequently Asked Questions
Grading involves physically moving and leveling the soil to change the slope of your yard, naturally directing surface water away. Drainage refers to the installed systems, like pipes and French drains, that capture and channel water that surface grading alone cannot handle.
A French drain is a trench filled with gravel containing a perforated pipe that redirects surface and groundwater away from a specific area. It effectively absorbs water pooling in low spots and carries it to a safe discharge point.
If water is pooling primarily due to a bumpy yard or negative slope toward your house, precision grading is often the best first step. However, if your yard suffers from deep groundwater seepage or heavy runoff from neighboring hillsides, installing a French drain alongside proper grading is the most secure solution.
While we install drainage systems year-round, addressing these issues during the drier late summer or fall months is ideal to prepare your property before heavy winter snowmelt and spring rains arrive.
Trenching and excavating do require disturbing the soil, but our turnkey service includes complete landscape restoration. Once the drainage systems are installed and the yard is leveled, we carefully smooth the area and can prep it for new sod or planting.
