How do I know if I need a French drain?

If water pools in your yard for more than a few hours after rain, or if you notice soft, soggy areas near your foundation, you almost certainly need drainage work.

How deep are French drains installed?

Typically 18–24 inches, depending on soil conditions, the volume of water to be managed, and the outlet location available on your property.

Will drainage work damage my existing landscaping?

We take care to preserve existing plants wherever possible and fully restore disturbed areas — re-sodding, replanting, or resurfacing — after installation is complete.

How long does drainage installation take?

Most residential drainage projects take 1–3 days. Larger or more complex systems with multiple collection points may take up to a week.
