Drainage & Grading
French drains, catch basins, and regrading that moves water off the property
A premium take on drainage & grading
Standing water next to a foundation is not a landscaping problem, it is a house problem. We diagnose where the water is actually coming from before we dig, then fix it: regrade the ground so it falls away from the structure, install French drains and catch basins where surface water collects, extend downspouts past the backfill zone, and daylight every line to somewhere that works. On sloped Wasatch Front lots we also cut swales that carry spring runoff around a yard instead of through it.
This service is a good fit for homeowners and property managers who want a clean, professional result without juggling the details themselves. We handle the prep, the finish work, and the cleanup so the space is ready to enjoy when we're done.
Every project covers the essentials
- On-site diagnosis before any excavation
- French drains with clean rock and filter fabric
- Catch basins, channel drains, and dry wells
- Downspout extensions carried past the backfill zone
- Regrading and swales for positive drainage away from structures
- Sump and pump discharge routed to a real outlet
Four steps from first call to final walkthrough
Diagnose
We check grades, roof runoff, and where the water sits, then explain what is actually causing it.
Written Estimate
Drain type, linear footage, basin count, outlet location, and regrading, itemized in writing.
Excavate & Install
Trenching, drain rock and fabric, pipe set to fall, basins placed, and the outlet daylighted.
Test & Restore
We run water through the system with you watching, then restore sod, mulch, or hardscape over the trench.
