Yard Drainage & French Drains
Move water away from your property — before it causes damage.
Standing water, soggy soil, and runoff pooling against foundations are drainage problems, not just inconveniences. We assess your property and install the right solution — French drains, surface drains, sump pumps, or dry creek beds — for the way water actually moves on your site.
What we address
Standing water after rain or irrigation
Soil erosion near foundations and beds
Water pooling against walls or hardscape
Soggy turf that stays wet for days
Roof runoff concentrated at downspouts
Low spots that collect sheet flow

Solutions matched to your site
Every drainage problem has a specific cause. We identify where water originates, how it moves across your property, and where it needs to go — then install the appropriate system.
French Drain Installation
A perforated pipe set in gravel redirects subsurface water away from foundations, patios, and planting beds. We assess slope, soil type, and discharge options before recommending a layout.
Surface & Channel Drains
Catch basins and channel drains intercept sheet flow across hardscape and turf areas, routing water to a safe outlet before it pools against structures.
Sump Pump Installation & Service
Where gravity drainage is not sufficient, a sump pump moves collected water to an appropriate discharge point. We install, test, and service submersible and pedestal units.
Downspout & Roof Runoff Management
Roof runoff concentrated at downspouts can erode soil and saturate foundations. We extend and redirect downspout discharge away from structures and into appropriate drainage paths.
Dry Creek Beds
A dry creek bed channels storm water while adding a natural landscape feature. Rock size, depth, and alignment are selected to handle expected flow volumes.
Drainage Assessment
Not sure what your property needs? We walk the site, identify problem areas, and provide a written assessment with recommended solutions before any work begins.
Drainage in the Sonoran Desert
Arizona's monsoon season delivers intense, short-duration rainfall that caliche soil and hardscape cannot absorb quickly. Water that has nowhere to go pools against foundations, saturates planting beds, and erodes decomposed granite. Drainage systems designed for the desert account for these high-intensity, low-frequency events rather than steady rainfall patterns.
Caliche — the calcium carbonate layer common in North Valley soils — can prevent water from percolating downward, making surface and subsurface drainage routes essential on many properties. We assess soil conditions as part of every drainage evaluation.
