Here are a few ways we can help manage water runoff
Underground yard drains
Underground systems are one of the best ways to deal with yard drainage. Each property is unique and requires individual assessment. Experienced drainage contractors will be able to help you assess the right solution for your property. Careful attention to detail helps to ensure the first solution you put in place to deal with water lasts.
Using a combination of curtain drains, dry wells, catch basins, and French drains we will successfully redirect water away from your property.
Surface drains
Surface drainage systems help to manage water runoff and prevent standing water. Surface drains are typically less invasive to your existing property. They can be used alone, or in combination with underground water management systems.
Surface drainage includes downspouts, grading to control runoff and other systems.
Prevent land erosion and help keep your yard dry with surface drains installed by an expert local contractor. We stand by our work, and guarantee your project has the attention it deserves.
Sump pump installation
Sump pumps help protect basements and lower areas that are prone to flooding. A sump pump kicks on in the event that water begins to fill up around it. The pump is meant to be a safeguard against flooding and can be very effective.
Don’t make the mistake of using a sump pump the wrong way. It’s critical that you divert the water into proper drainage so it’s carried away from your structure.
Hardscaping & Grading
You can also manage storm water in Westchester with landscaping and other features such as retaining walls.
As a landscaper, and yard drainage specialist, we have the expertise to handle your drainage, and make sure your property is kept beautiful.
Your property is one of a kind. After learning about your problem, and inspecting your property, we’ll create a water management system that is effective on your land.

Yard Drain FAQs
A dry well helps to manage stormwater runoff. They also divert excess water away from your foundation. They are a good way to reduce the amount of water that enters your underground drain system. Dry wells are most useful in areas without a lot of space for surface drains.
A dry well is made by digging a hole into the ground, dropping in a container with holes in it and filling it with gravel. The container allows water to enter the dry well, where it’s then absorbed by the surrounding soil.
When considering using a dry well to help manage water runoff, you have to consider the surrounding soil. If the soil doesn’t absorb water well, the dry well may not be effective and could become saturated. That may lead to potentially worse problems with flooding or standing water.
A curtain drain, also called a French drain is a type of drainage system used to move water away from your foundation.
Curtain drains are very common solutions to water management in Westchester. They are particularly useful where the water table is high.
Curtain drains are installed by digging a trench around your foundation. Then, filling the trench with gravel and perforated pipe.
As the water fills in the soil, it flows through the gravel and into the perforated pipe. Once in the pipe, the water can be diverted away from your foundation.
A common mistake when installing curtain drains is not properly disposing of the water. Don’t just empty the water to other spots on your property. Ensure you tie the drain into existing drainage, or otherwise route it off of your property.
A sump pump is a device used to prevent standing water in a basement, garage or other area of your home. It’s installed by digging a hole in the ground and installing a pump that is automatically activated once the hole fills with water.
Sump pumps are a fantastic way to prevent flooding and ensure a waterproof basement. However, just like with other types of drainage, it’s critical that you properly route any water collected by your sump pump.
When it comes to managing water on your property, there is no easy answer.
The condition of your soil, slope of your land, location of your home and amount of standing water all play a part in installing the right drain system.
It’s important that you work with an experienced landscaper or excavating contractor to figure out what will work on your land.
A combination of underground drains, wells & pumps and changing the slope of your property can be used to achieve the results you need.
