A French drain is a highly effective underground drainage system that pulls water away from notoriously wet areas of your property. For our French drains, we dig a trench and line it with drainage fabric. We then install drainage stone and a perforated pipe, which is covered with more drainage stone. Normally the French drain is covered with soil and grass so you don’t even notice it.

No. Downspout extensions connect the downspout from your home’s gutters to a buried pipe that drains water away from your home toward a proper exit point. French drains can be combined with downspout extensions and/or regrading for a full-scale, long-term solution.

Yes—some of our drainage projects involve multiple components, and it depends on your property’s needs. French drains can be used together with downspout extensions, channel drains, drain boxes and/or a dry creek bed. Your drainage correction might also involve grading, landscaping, sodding and/or mulching.

If you contact five different contractors, you are likely to get five opinions that vary based on each one’s specialty. Because we value long-term relationships with our clients, our goal is to create a long-term solution that mitigates water before it gets to your house. We also prefer gravity over mechanical options that eventually give out, like a sump pump. 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 for one simple reason: our existing maintenance clients are our top priority, and 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.
