The Problems We Hear Every Week.
The Problem“The backyard turns into a lake every summer afternoon.”
How we fix it: Flat lots and a high water table mean water needs a shaped path. We cut shallow, mowable swales that carry it to the street or retention — no ugly ditches.
“Water pools right against the house.”
How we fix it: We regrade for positive slope away from the foundation and extend downspouts past the problem zone — the two highest-impact fixes for slab-side ponding.
“The county swale out front doesn't seem to do anything.”
How we fix it: County drainage only works if your side of the yard connects to it. We shape your grade to actually feed the right-of-way swale instead of ignoring it.
