Signs You May Need a Drainage System

• Pooling or standing water after rain

• Soggy grass or mulch beds that never dry out

• Soil erosion around plantings or walkways

• Water runoff damaging patios, retaining walls, or driveways

• Water seeping into basements or crawl spaces

• Mold or mildew near your home's foundation

If you’re experiencing any of these issues, it’s time to consider a custom drainage solution designed and installed by professionals.

Types of Drainage Systems We Install

At Sandy Creek Landscaping, we assess your property’s topography, soil composition, and water flow patterns to design a drainage system that works. Our most common solutions include:

1. French Drains

A classic solution for redirecting water away from foundations and low areas. We install French drains with gravel and perforated piping to collect and carry excess groundwater.

2. Surface Drains / Catch Basins

Ideal for managing surface water in flat or heavily trafficked areas. These systems quickly collect and channel rainwater from driveways, patios, or lawns.

3. Dry Creek Beds

Aesthetic and functional, dry creek beds use decorative stone and natural slopes to guide water away from key structures while blending into the landscape design.

4. Downspout Extensions

Rain from your roof can cause serious water pooling near your foundation. We redirect downspouts away from your home using buried piping or gravel trenches.

5. Grading & Re-Sloping

Sometimes, the best fix is to regrade your yard to improve the natural flow of water away from your home and landscape features.

6. Channel Drains

Used in hardscaped areas like driveways, pool decks, or patios. These sleek systems capture surface water and route it to safer discharge areas.

Benefits of Professional Drainage Installation

✔ Protects Home Foundation & Structures
Improper water drainage can crack foundations, warp wood, and lead to costly structural repairs. A proper system prevents this damage.

✔ Preserves Landscape Health
Excess water drowns plants, washes away mulch, and invites root rot. Our drainage systems keep your garden beds, grass, and trees healthy.

✔ Eliminates Mud & Puddles
Enjoy a dry, usable yard even after heavy rainfall. No more soggy shoes, trampled turf, or unusable outdoor spaces.

✔ Prevents Erosion
Stop losing soil from garden beds, pathways, or retaining walls by controlling water movement across your property.

✔ Improves Curb Appeal & Safety
Standing water and wet areas are not only unsightly—they can become slippery hazards. Proper drainage enhances safety and beauty.

✔ Boosts Property Value
Drainage systems are a long-term investment that protect your home and yard, making them appealing to future buyers.
