Drainage Solutions in Charlotte, NC
French drains, trenching and stone-lined channels that move water away from your home and yard for good.
Solving water problems at the source
Standing water, a soggy yard or water running toward your foundation usually comes down to grade and drainage. We evaluate the property, figure out where the water is actually coming from, and fix it — whether that means a French drain, a stone-lined surface channel, or regrading the area with our land grading service.
Trenching for drainage and utility lines
Most drainage fixes start with a trench. We dig it to the right depth and slope, lay the pipe, and backfill so the yard is left level and clean — no exposed pipe, no low spots left behind. The same trenching work also sets up irrigation lines when a project needs both.

Drainage FAQ
What causes standing water in a yard, and how do you fix it?+
Standing water is usually caused by low spots, compacted soil or a grade that slopes toward the house instead of away from it. Depending on the cause, we fix it with regrading, a French drain, or a stone-lined surface channel.
French drain vs. surface drainage: which do I need?+
A French drain moves water underground through a perforated pipe and is best for water coming from below or seeping through soil. Surface drainage, like a stone-lined swale, is better for redirecting runoff across the top of the yard. We recommend the right option after seeing your property.
Do you handle trenching for drainage lines?+
Yes. Trenching is part of most drainage jobs — we dig the trench, lay the pipe and backfill so the finished yard looks clean.
