What we do

Give the water somewhere better to go.

French drains redirect water away from the foundation and landscaping, preventing erosion, flooding and moisture build-up. If part of the yard stays wet for days after a storm, or water runs toward the house instead of away from it, a drain fixes the cause.

We assess the property to determine the placement and design for the drain system, considering soil type, slope and the existing drainage patterns, and install it with materials and methods built to keep working for years.

What’s included

  • A walk of the property after the problem is described, ideally where the water collects
  • Drain routing planned for the soil, the slope and where the water can be released
  • Trenching, perforated pipe, gravel and fabric installed to keep the drain flowing
  • Downspouts tied into the drain where it makes sense
  • Grade restored and the yard left tidy

Central Florida yards drain badly for a reason.

Flat lots, a high water table and compacted fill under newer homes mean water sits. Add a roofline dumping hundreds of gallons in an afternoon storm and the low spot by the lanai turns into a pond. A French drain collects that water below the surface and carries it to where it can soak away.

Downspout extension feeding a yard drain

Gutters, downspouts and drains as one system.

The best drainage jobs start at the roof. We look at where the gutters send the water, where the downspouts release it, and where the ground takes it, then design the drain to close the loop. Often the fix is a drain plus a couple of downspout extensions, not a bigger drain.

What to expect

How a drainage job goes.

Four steps, no surprises.

  1. 01

    See the water

    We walk the property and find where the water collects and where it comes from.

  2. 02

    Design the drain

    Routing, depth and outlet are planned for your soil and slope, and priced in writing.

  3. 03

    Install

    Trench, pipe, gravel and fabric go in; downspouts are tied in where it helps.

  4. 04

    Restore and test

    The grade is restored and we confirm the drain takes water on the first storm or a hose test.

Drainage and French Drains questions

What people ask about French drains.

Straight answers, including the ones that talk you out of work you don’t need.

Need a fast answer? Call (352) 707-4002 to reach our shop directly.

What is a French drain?

A gravel-filled trench with a perforated pipe that collects water below the surface and carries it away to a spot where it can drain safely. It is the standard fix for a yard that holds water or sends it toward the house.

How do you decide where the drain goes?

We look at the soil, the slope, where the water collects and where it can be released, and route the drain to intercept the water before it reaches the foundation or the low spot.

Do I need a French drain or just downspout extensions?

Sometimes extensions alone solve it. If the water is coming off the roof and pooling at the wall, carrying it clear may be enough. If the yard itself holds water, a drain is the answer. We tell you which on site.

Will it tear up the yard?

Trenching is part of the job, but we restore the grade and leave the yard tidy. Sod and plantings are put back where the trench runs.

We do it all
inside this circle.
