Grading & Drainage Solutions

Correct slopes, manage stormwater, and protect your property from ponding, erosion, and runoff.

Built for Your Site

Experienced Work From Planning Through Cleanup.

Grading and drainage work together. Proper elevations guide water away from foundations, lawns, driveways, and outdoor living areas; a well-designed drainage system then carries or disperses that water safely.

Diagnose the water before digging

Standing water can be caused by compacted soil, low areas, roof runoff, neighboring grades, or an inadequate outlet. We look at the full path of water across the property rather than treating only the wet spot.

Drainage solutions built for the site

Depending on the property, a solution may include regrading, swales, French drains, catch basins, yard drains, solid pipe, stone infiltration areas, or a combination of methods. Every recommendation should match the source and volume of water.

Protect foundations and usable yards

Good drainage helps reduce soil erosion, muddy lawn areas, freeze-thaw damage, and water pressure near foundations. It also creates a more usable landscape after Connecticut storms and spring snowmelt.

Straight Answers

Grading & Drainage Solutions FAQs

How do I know whether I need grading or a French drain?

Regrading corrects the surface slope; a French drain collects subsurface water. Some properties need one, while others need both. A site visit helps identify the water source and best outlet.

Can drainage work stop water from collecting near my foundation?

It often can, depending on the source. The solution may involve correcting pitch, extending roof runoff, installing drains, or combining several measures to move water away safely.

When is the best time to evaluate a drainage problem?

During or shortly after wet conditions is ideal because water patterns are visible, but drainage concerns can be evaluated throughout the working season using site elevations and evidence of ponding or erosion.
