Drainage for soggy lawns, wet crawlspaces and washouts
Find where the water starts, then give it a path. Small fixes take a day or two; regrading a whole lot takes longer.
What are we building?
Choose a project, then a time for the designer to come out.
Clay takes in water slowly and lets go of it even slower. A heavy storm sits on the lawn for days, slides along the foundation or carves a ditch down the side yard. Every lot behaves differently, so we walk it in the rain when we can and trace where each problem starts.
Typical fixes: run the downspouts into buried pipe that daylights downhill, regrade so the soil falls away from the house, lay a gravel trench drain along a wet fence line, or build a dry creek of river rock that carries runoff and looks planted on purpose.

Walk the yard
A designer spends about an hour on site with you, checking grades, soil, sun and where the water runs, and hearing how you want to use the space. The first visit is free.

Plan at your table
Right there at your table, the designer sketches the layout to scale, then comes back with a material board of real stone, brick and plant picks you can hold.

We adjust the plan until it fits how you live and what you want to spend, then send one fixed price that lists every material and quantity.

One crew lead runs the job from first stake to last plant, and a photo update lands in your inbox every Friday. Hardscape is covered for 5 years, plants for 1.
Drainage questions
Is a French drain the answer?
Only sometimes. A trench drain handles water moving underground. Water running across the surface usually needs regrading or a dry creek instead.
How long does it take?
Most drainage jobs take a few days. Regrading a full lot can take a couple of weeks.
