Frequently Asked Questions

  • How do I know if I need a French drain or grading?
    We evaluate slope, soil, and water entry points. Often grading and downspout routing fix surface water; French drains target subsurface water issues.
  • Will a retaining wall stop erosion?
    Yes—when properly engineered with drainage stone, perforated pipe, and geotextile. We design walls for loads and long-term stability.
  • Can you make drainage features look natural?
    Absolutely. Dry creek beds, boulder outfalls, and native plantings blend into the landscape while moving water effectively.
  • What’s the ballpark cost?
    Minor fixes are modest; multi-element projects (walls, drains, re-grading) are larger investments. We provide clear, itemized estimates after assessment.
  • Do you handle permits or engineering?
    When required, we coordinate local permits and can bring in engineering for larger walls or sensitive sites.
