💧 Drainage Solutions

Standing water, soggy lawns, and runoff problems — solved correctly.

Water problems are rarely caused by just one issue. Most properties deal with multiple sources of water coming together — roof runoff, groundwater, slopes, poor grading, or failed old drains.

We take the time to understand how water moves across your property and build a system that actually works — not a shortcut that looks good for one season.

🔍 How We Diagnose Drainage Problems

Before recommending any solution, we take the time to understand how water behaves on your property.

We look at:

- Where the water is coming from and how it moves during heavy rain

- Soil conditions and groundwater below the surface

- Existing pipes, failed systems, and underground layouts

- Slope, discharge options, and long-term performance

There is no one-size-fits-all drainage system.The right solution depends on the site — and that’s why our systems last.

Yard Drains & Catch Basins

🛠️ Drainage Systems We Install

Yard drain system installed between two houses with a catch basin and inlets, showing clean excavation with soil placed on plywood

Finished yard drain catch basin installed flush in a lawn to collect surface water and prevent standing water

Surface collection systems that intercept runoff and move it safely away from low areas and walkways.

Downspout Drainage

Downspout adapter connected to buried PVC pipe to carry roof water away from the home’s foundation

We connect roof runoff into solid underground pipe so water is carried away instead of soaking the foundation or lawn.

French Drains & Interceptor Drains

French drain system installed with filter fabric, clean stone, and perforated PVC pipe to control groundwater and yard drainage

Subsurface systems designed to relieve groundwater pressure or intercept moving water before it becomes a problem.

(Not every property is a good candidate — and we’ll tell you if it isn’t.)

Dry Wells & Recharge Systems

Dry well recharge system being installed with infiltration chambers and stone to manage stormwater in a residential yard

Used where soil conditions allow water to soak back into the ground safely and effectively. A great option in towns where runoff must be managed on the homeowner’s property and cannot be discharged to the street.

🧱 Materials & Installation Matter

Dry Well Recharge System Components – Installed by Tye Landscaping

We build systems using:

- SDR-35 PVC pipe with glued joints

- Proper drainage stone and filtration layers

- Cleanouts and access points where needed

- Accurate slope and depth

- Cheap pipe and rushed installs fail early.
We’d rather build it once than have you pay twice.

🌱 Clean Finish — No Mess Left Behind

- Protect lawns with plywood

- Cut and replace sod cleanly

- Grade and restore disturbed areas

When we’re done, your yard looks the same — except now it drains.

Outdoor Sump Pump Systems

Outdoor sump pump systems are typically used where gravity drainage isn’t possible due to elevation, soil conditions, or a high water table. When pumping is required, we design systems that are accessible, serviceable, and built for long-term reliability — including proper depth, materials, and layout to perform reliably through cold weather without freezing.
