Erosion Control and Grading

Control Runoff, Erosion, and Poor Yard Grade

When runoff moves too fast or slopes toward the wrong area, soil can wash out and water can collect where it should not. Drainage and grading should work together.

Problem signs

What This Page Helps Solve

These are the homeowner-visible symptoms this drainage service should speak to clearly.

Washed Soil
Bare soil, exposed roots, or channels in the yard can show where runoff is concentrating.
Wrong Slope
Settled or poorly shaped grade can push water toward patios, walkways, fences, or the home.
Low Spots
Erosion and poor grade can create pockets that hold water after storms.

Approach

Drainage Options to Consider

The right answer may be a French drain, grading, a catch basin, downspout routing, a swale, or a combination.

Drainage Grading
Adjust small areas so runoff moves in a controlled direction.
Swales
Guide water across the surface without making the yard feel overbuilt.
Erosion Support
Use drainage planning, soil shaping, and surface stabilization where needed.
