Stop standing water, protect your business, and reclaim your outdoor space

Central Indiana’s heavy spring and fall rains, dense clay soils, and freeze–thaw cycles can turn a good yard into a soggy mess. We design and install long-lasting drainage systems that move water away from your building, reduce erosion, and protect your grounds and landscaping in every season.

Standing water on your site isn’t just an annoyance–it can also attract disease-carrying pests and create health hazards for your customers and team members. 

We specialize in creating drainage solutions for: 

  • Standing water & muddy spots after rain
  • Downspouts dumping by your foundation or walkways
  • Erosion channels across landscaping beds or along fence lines
  • Sunken patios & heaving pavers
  • Dead turf
  • Icy patches in winter where water refreezes on your walkways or parking lots 

Proven drainage solutions we provide: 

  • Downspout drainage & extension solutions
    Burying downspouts carries roof runoff to a safe outlet.
  • Installing pop-up emitters. 
    Adding cleanouts and drain basins for easier maintenance.

French drains 

  • A French drain is a fabric-lined trench filled with gravel or rock. It can intercept groundwater and surface seepage on your grounds and along foundations. 

Channel drains & catch basins

  • Catch basins can collect water run-off from driveways, patios, and low spots. 
  • Heavy-duty grates can be installed near parking areas to divert water.
  • Grading & swales
  • Correcting the grading in your outdoor space will create the slope needed to drain water away from your buildings. 
  • Broad, shallow swales can effectively move water without causing erosion.

Dry wells & trench drains

  • A trench drain is a long, gravel-filled trench that can temporarily store and slowly release stormwater runoff into the ground. 
  • A dry well is an underground, perforated container, like a large barrel or pit, that collects and filters excess stormwater runoff from roofs or driveways.

Permeable hardscapes

  • Permeable pavers work by allowing rainwater to drain through the spaces between the pavers and into an underlying stone reservoir, which then slowly filters the water into the ground. They’re an aesthetically pleasing and functional solution to water near your walkways. 

Rain gardens with native plants

  • A rain garden is a beautiful and low-maintenance option to capture runoff on your grounds. They’re created by excavating a basin at the base of the lawn’s slope for the water to collect. 
  • Rain gardens thrive when they’re planted with local natives (e.g., Blue Flag Iris, Swamp Milkweed, Little Bluestem, Fox Sedge, Black-eyed Susan) that flourish in wet–dry cycles.

Our drainage solution process

  • Conduct an on-site assessment. Our drainage solutions team will measure the slopes in your lawns, check your soil type, and look for impervious areas and problem zones. We’ll also locate utilities (811) before we dig.
  • Create a plan & proposal. You’ll receive a clear diagram showing pipe routes, inlets/outlets, and recommended components—plus a fixed, line-item estimate that will create a long-term solution to your drainage problems. 
  • Restore your grounds and landscaping. Once our team has finished installing your drainage system, we’ll restore your grounds and landscaping so you can keep putting your best foot forward with your customers.
