Soggy yard? Send the water somewhere else.
French drains, channel drains, catch basins and regrading that move standing water out of lawns and away from foundations.
- Tools: French drains, catch basins, regrading
- Pipe: Perforated and solid, sized to flow
- Outlet: Designed before digging
What it is, and why it matters.
Wet spots, mossy lawns and puddles that last days after rain mean water has nowhere to go. A French drain is a gravel trench with perforated pipe that collects groundwater. A catch basin and solid pipe collect surface water. Sometimes the answer is regrading a low spot. We trace where the water comes from and choose the right tool.
Middle Tennessee's clay soil holds water and sheds it slowly, so many Nashville yards stay wet. We design an outlet first, so water leaves safely, and we pair drainage with irrigation planning: a lawn that stays soggy does not need a sprinkler, and a drained yard waters more evenly.

Yard Drainage Solutions: common questions
How do I fix a soggy yard?
Find where the water comes from and give it a path out: a French drain for groundwater, catch basins for surface water or regrading for low spots.
Can drainage and irrigation work together?
Yes. Fixing wet areas first lets the irrigation system water the rest of the yard evenly.
