Your Simsbury Property
Improve Drainage Without Losing the Yard.
Wet lawn areas can make a Simsbury yard difficult to enjoy, even when the rest of the landscape looks finished. Elevated Earthwork evaluates drainage and grading together, with attention to existing plantings, equipment access, and the usable space you want to recover.
Trace the water through the whole yard
A wet patch may be receiving water from a roof, a driveway, an uphill area, or several sources at once. Note when the problem appears and how long the ground stays wet. Photos during rainfall help explain the pattern. The goal is to understand the contributing water before choosing a collection point or trench route.
Protect the features you want to keep
Tell us which trees, beds, fences, and lawn areas should remain. A practical drainage layout accounts for those features and the space available for equipment. Where underground work must cross an established landscape, restoration should be part of the discussion rather than an assumption made after the trench is closed.
Match the solution to the kind of water
Surface runoff may call for a swale or catch basin, while water moving through soil may need another approach. A French drain is one possible tool, not an automatic answer for every wet yard. Collection, conveyance, and a workable destination need to function together on your particular property.
