Landscape Drainage Installation
Standing water around your home or landscaping could undermine your home’s foundation, kill or weaken your plants, and prevent you from enjoying your yard. With our rainy, wet Pacific Northwest weather and heavy soil prevalent in many areas, flooding and standing water are ongoing issues for many homeowners. The potential for damage increases exponentially; solve your drainage issues before the next heavy rainfall.
The good news is there are effective, long-lasting, low or no-maintenance yard drainage systems that will collect and divert water to sewer drains or an area in your yard that needs additional water. We install drainage solutions year-round for homeowners throughout South King County.
We install several effective landscape drainage systems that could transform your yard when the weather is wet and rainy, primarily French drains and channel drains, also known as trench drains.
- French drains – drains water pooling under the surface
- Channel or Trench drains – effective for draining water pooled on the surface
Our drainage specialists will complete a complimentary site visit at your property before recommending a draining system for your yard.
French Drains - Underground Water Drainage
French drains are a popular and highly effective way to drain underground water from your yard. The general concept for a French drain is a structure designed to make water flow through a channel to a gravel-filled trench and ultimately pass through a perforated pipe at the bottom of the trench where it is diverted to a dry well, the street, a drainage ditch, or a low-lying area of your property.
French drains have been used to protect homes and properties for many years by:
- Redirecting water-flooded yards, walkways, patios, and driveways
- Providing proper drainage behind retaining walls to relieve groundwater pressure
- Positioning them outside a home to prevent water ingress
- Placing them under floors to prevent water upsurges
Channel or Trench Drains - Effective Surface Water Management
While French drains manage underground water, trench drain installations divert excess water away from surface areas.
As professionals in landscape services of all kinds, we install trench drain systems to capture and drain excessive rain and stormwater that cannot soak into heavily saturated lawns.
Our residential drainage trench installations, including catch basins, when needed, are particularly effective for:
- Managing excessive rain or storm water in yards
- Driveways
- Pool edges – to capture water from swimmers
- Sidewalks
- Patios
Your first step is to schedule a complimentary, no-obligation site visit. A yard drainage professional will discuss your concerns and walk through your yard to determine an effective drainage system built to code that will protect your home and plants and allow you and your family to enjoy your yard after it rains. They will discuss their recommendations and give you a written quote.

Landscape Drainage Systemsto Remove Surface Water
If you live in a flat land area with dense soil or an unusually high water table, proper drainage is essential to protect your home and plants and enable you to enjoy your yard year-round. These conditions allow water to collect in areas that may undermine building structures, super-saturate your plant life, and create swamp-like areas in your yard.
As trained and experienced landscape professionals, we offer effective landscape drainage systems that solve water drainage problems such as:
- Surface water commonly found in clay soil landscapes
- Hardpan layers
- High water table
Contact us to schedule a complimentary, no-obligation walk-through with one of our skilled landscape drainage professionals. They will discuss your concerns and conduct an on-site analysis to determine the locations and types of drainage problems, then give you a quote for a drainage system designed to quickly remove surface water before it saturates your landscape.
