Surface Drainage Solution

What This Service Involves

Surface drainage solutions tackle the visible pooling and puddling that plague flat or poorly graded PNW yards after every rain. We combine strategic regrading with catch basins placed at low points and connected by solid pipe to a safe outlet. Water is captured where it collects and carried underground to a discharge location rather than sitting on the lawn. This integrated approach keeps turf healthy, eliminates muddy spots, and stops water from migrating toward your foundation.

Benefits

Eliminates puddles and soggy lawn spots; Combines regrading with piped catch basins; Directs runoff safely away from the home; Protects turf and landscaping from rot; Tailored to flat, poorly draining PNW lots

Our Process

1) Survey the yard grade and map where water pools; 2) Establish positive slope away from structures; 3) Set catch basins at identified low points; 4) Connect basins with solid pipe to a safe outlet; 5) Regrade, seed or sod, and confirm flow to discharge

What Affects the Cost

Yard size and extent of regrading needed; Number of catch basins and pipe runs; Amount of soil moved and hauled; Outlet distance and discharge method; Turf restoration with seed or sod

Best Time of Year

Ideal in late spring through early fall when soil is workable for regrading and new turf can establish before winter rains.
