Outdoor Living & Drainage

Create an Outdoor Space You Can Actually Enjoy

Drainage Is Part of Good Landscape Design

Standing water, erosion and poorly directed runoff can damage lawns, planting beds and hardscape and make parts of a property difficult to use.

Depending on site conditions, solutions can involve correcting grades, creating intentional drainage routes, installing drainage lines or channels, or combining drainage improvements with new landscaping.

We evaluate drainage as part of the overall project so that new sod, plants, pavers and outdoor living areas aren't installed on top of an existing water problem.

From Problem Backyard to Complete Outdoor Living Space

This service is ideal for larger transformations.

We can take an unfinished or outdated backyard and combine drainage corrections, grading, pavers, pergolas, lighting, landscaping, irrigation and outdoor gathering areas into one cohesive project.

How It Fits Together

Make the Space Beautiful and Functional

Outdoor living and drainage can be designed together so the finished yard looks cohesive and handles water correctly.
