How we fix drainage problems
Water pooling on a driveway, washing out mulch beds, or sitting against the foundation almost always comes down to grade. We start by figuring out where the water comes from and where it can go.
We regrade so the ground slopes away from the house, install French drains with perforated pipe in fabric-wrapped stone, and use open-graded stone or permeable pavers where water needs to soak in. On driveway, walkway, and wall jobs, drainage is built in from the start.
What does drainage work cost?
It depends on how far the water needs to go. What moves the price:
- Length of French drain or pipe run
- How much soil gets regraded
- Where the water can discharge
- Digging around existing hardscape, roots, or utilities
- Permeable surfaces or dry wells
Every job is priced after we see it. The estimate is free, and we walk you through the options before you commit to anything.

Drainage & Grading: common questions
How much does a French drain cost?
Mostly the length of the run and where the water can go. Every job is priced after we see it. The estimate is free, and we walk you through the options before you commit to anything.
Water pools on my driveway. Can that be fixed?
Usually by regrading or adding a drain. If the driveway is being replaced anyway, we fix the grade as part of the job.
What is open-graded stone?
Washed stone with no fine particles, so water flows through it. It's used under permeable pavers and in drain trenches.
