Severe residential flooding at a doorway before drainage improvements

DRAINAGE + GRADING

Water Has to Go Somewhere. Let’s Make Sure It’s the Right Place.

Standing water, flooding, erosion and runoff need diagnosis before they need a drain.

REAL-WORLD TEST

Nearly six inches of rain. No repeat flooding.

On one severe flooding project, we used French drains, berms, walls and a controlled path for floodwater. Roughly a year later, the property received nearly six inches of rain from Sunday night into Monday morning without the original flooding returning.

FINISHED PROPERTY

Designed to look good when the weather is good—and perform when it isn’t.

This is the same pool property in normal dry conditions. Pairing the finished landscape with the major-rain photo shows both sides of the project: a polished outdoor space and drainage performance when the weather put it to the test.

FOLLOW THE WATER

Don’t just drain it. Understand it.

Water problems can involve roof runoff, grade, neighboring properties, low areas, compacted soil, walls and hard surfaces. We ask where the water comes from and where it can appropriately go.

WALLS + WATER

Drainage and retaining walls need to be planned together.

Retaining structures change water movement, and water creates pressure behind walls. For complex sites we coordinate grading, drainage, walls and final landscape as one system.

NEW CONSTRUCTION

Fix it before it becomes a problem.

New homes change grade, runoff, driveway surfaces and roof drainage. It is better to think about water before final landscaping is installed.

TRANSFORMATION

Real problem. Real storm.
Real result.
