Signs You Have a Drainage Problem

•	Standing water after rain or irrigation

•	Mushy, soggy areas that stay wet for days

•	Soil that’s compacted or heavy with clay

•	Lawn too soft to mow or walk on without sinking

•	Water pooling near your home or garden beds

Our Drainage Fix Approach

✅ Expert Site Assessment

We evaluate slope, soil composition, sun exposure, and runoff flow to understand exactly why your lawn is holding water.

✅ Grading & Recontouring

We adjust the slope of your lawn to move water away from low-lying or problem areas, restoring healthy flow and improving surface drainage.

✅ French Drains & Dry Wells

We install underground drainage systems like French drains and dry wells to redirect and capture excess water where grading alone isn’t enough.

✅ Soil Remediation

•	Break up **clay-heavy or compacted soil**

•	Blend in sand, compost, or other amendments to increase drainage

•	Apply **top dressing** to help regrade and nourish the soil

✅ Aeration & Over-Seeding

After fixing drainage, we aerate and over-seed to help your lawn bounce back stronger, thicker, and more drought- and water-resistant.
