Soon after, you will receive a proposal for a custom drainage correction, which may include a dry creek bed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes—many of our drainage projects involve multiple components, and it depends on your property’s needs. Your dry creek bed may be integrated with downspout extensions, French drains, channel drains, drain boxes or pop-up emitters. Some grading is usually necessary as well, and many clients choose to add landscaping and/or mulching near the dry creek bed to enhance the look and reduce erosion.
If you speak to five different contractors, you are likely to get five different opinions that vary by each company’s specialty. At Independence, our focus is to mitigate water before it gets to your house. Whenever possible, we prefer to use gravity rather than mechanical options like a sump pump because it’s more dependable long term. Whether it’s a complex drainage correction or lawn maintenance, our clients know they can depend on us to get the job done right.
We do not offer one-time projects because our existing clients are our top priority—our business is built on these long-term relationships. If you are willing to consider us for a maintenance service, such as weekly mowing or our Lawn Care Program, we are happy to meet with you to evaluate your drainage issues and find a customized solution.
