Drainage

Water is what quietly ruins hardscape, lawns, and foundations. We read how water actually moves across your property, then regrade it and build the structures that carry it away — instead of letting it sit against the house, wash out beds, or undermine a wall.

Questions, answered.

Why does my yard hold water?

It's almost always grade, soil, or both — water arrives faster than the ground can take it, and there's nowhere for it to go. We'd rather look at it during a rain than guess from a dry lawn, so tell us where it pools and we'll come see it.

Do I need drainage sorted before a patio or pool deck?

Sometimes, yes — and it's better to hear that up front. Drainage is grading plus the right structures underneath, and on some properties it has to be solved before hardscape can go in at all.

Is a dry creek bed decorative or does it actually work?

Both, when it's built right. The stone is the visible part; the shaping and the base underneath are what carry the water. Built as decoration only, it silts up and stops working.
