Yard Drainage Solutions in Northern Virginia
Standing water kills grass, floods basements, and undermines foundations — and Northern Virginia's clay soil makes it worse every year you wait. We diagnose where the water comes from and where it needs to go, then build the fix: French drains, regrading, buried downspouts, or usually some combination. Homeowners consistently review our drainage work as the fix that finally worked.

What We Build
French Drain Installation
The workhorse of yard drainage: perforated pipe in a gravel trench that collects subsurface water and moves it away from your home. We size, slope, and route every French drain for your specific yard — not a one-size-fits-all trench.
Regrading & Swales
Water obeys gravity. If your yard slopes toward the house, no drain fully solves it — the grade has to change. We reshape yards and cut shallow swales so water flows away naturally.
Buried Downspouts & Underground Pipes
Downspouts dumping at the foundation cause most wet-basement calls. We bury solid pipe from your downspouts to daylight or pop-up emitters at the street or yard edge.
Dry Creek Beds & Sump Discharge Lines
When drainage can be beautiful: stone-lined dry creek beds that carry storm water and look intentional. We also route sump pump discharge properly so it stops re-soaking your foundation.

FAQ
Drainage FAQ
How do I know if I need a French drain or regrading?
You usually can't tell from the surface — that's what the free on-site estimate is for. We walk the yard, find where water enters and pools, and quote the actual fix.
Will you tear up my whole yard?
We disturb as little as possible and restore what we do disturb — we're also a landscaping company, so seed, sod, and grading come standard on the way out.
Does drainage work have a warranty?
Warranty coverage is available — ask for details on your project.
Customer Review
"Our yard turned into a pond every time it rained. Julio walked the whole property, explained exactly where the water was coming from, and the French drain and regrading fixed it. First heavy storm since — bone dry."Karen M. — Vienna, VA
