Yard drainage and grading
Tired of a lumpy, bumpy lawn that doesn't drain well? We bring in specialized small equipment to demo, grade and level, then prep your yard for new beds or sod.
When the yard won't drain
North Texas clay holds water, and a yard graded the wrong way sends it toward the house or leaves it sitting in the lawn. It does not fix itself. If any of these sound familiar, the ground needs work:
- Water still standing in the yard a day after it rains
- Soggy patches that never dry out
- Water running toward the house instead of away from it
- Beds and mulch washing out every storm
- A lumpy, bumpy lawn you cannot mow straight
How it goes
-
Free estimate
Tell us where the water goes after it rains. Estimates are free, and we get back to you within 24 hours.
-
Clear
Overgrown bushes, trees, old beds and turf come out first.
-
Grade and drain
We regrade the yard and add drainage where the water needs somewhere to go.
-
Finish
New sod or beds go in on ground that is ready for them. We don't leave until it's done correctly.
What we do
Drainage, grading and yard prep
French drains
A trench lined with fabric, drain pipe in the bottom and rock over the top, to carry water out of a side yard or a low spot.
Clearing and demo
Overgrown bushes and trees cleared or trimmed back, and old beds and turf taken out, before the real work starts.
Prep for sod and beds
Once the ground is right, we prep it for new sod or planting beds, edged and finished.
