Yard Drainage & Landscape Drainage Solutions

Does your yard pool up every time it rains? Standing water usually comes from bad slope, improperly compacted soil, or landscaping that pushes water toward the house instead of away from it. As a yard drainage company, we solve drainage problems for residential and commercial properties across Chesterfield, Macomb, Rochester, Troy, and the surrounding area.

Drainage work is most often one piece of a larger landscape or hardscape project — corrected alongside grading, a patio or wall installation, or a broader yard renovation — rather than a stand-alone fix, so we typically scope it as part of that bigger plan.

The right fix depends on where the water comes from and where it collects, so every drainage job starts with a site visit. We look at the slope of the yard, where downspouts and sump pumps discharge, how the soil takes water, and where it sits after a storm. Then we recommend the solution that matches the problem instead of the one that is easiest to sell.

Often the answer is a combination: re-grading to move surface water, a French drain to carry what soaks in, and extensions to get roof and sump water past the problem area. Because we also handle yard grading, sod, and hydroseeding, one crew can fix the drainage and finish the yard.

A French drain is a trench with perforated pipe bedded in landscape rock. It collects water below the surface and carries it to a spot where it can drain safely, away from the foundation and out of the lawn. It is the right tool for ground that stays soggy after rain, or water that seeps toward the house.

The pipe is buried and finished with landscape rock or turf over the top, so the drain does not change how the yard looks. Most residential installations run one to a few days depending on trench length and access, and we restore disturbed turf as part of the work.

Drainage belongs in the plan before a patio, wall, or new lawn goes in, not after water starts pooling against it. Our retaining walls are built with drainage stone and drain tile behind them, and our paver work is pitched to shed water before a single paver is laid.

We handle grading and drainage on commercial properties as well, so water moves away from buildings and parking areas. See our commercial landscaping services for that side of the work.

Our crews work out of Chesterfield and install yard drainage throughout Macomb, Oakland, and St. Clair counties, including Shelby Township, Sterling Heights, Warren, Rochester Hills, Troy, Bloomfield Hills, Birmingham, and Royal Oak, plus Grosse Pointe. If you are searching for a drainage contractor near you in that area, a site visit is the first step.
