Standing water, solved at the cause
Water moved away from foundations, yards and low spots — starting with the grade, and adding pipe only where pipe is what the ground needs.

What the job covers
- French drains
- Yard and lot drainage
- Downspout lines buried
- Swales cut and shaped
- Culverts and ditch work
- Water moved off foundations
First the grade, then the pipe
Plenty of wet yards are fixed with a machine and a good eye, no pipe at all. Where water has nowhere to go on the surface, then it gets a drain: trench, stone, pipe, and an outlet that actually daylights.
Around the house
Water standing against a foundation is the expensive kind. Downspout lines, swales and footing drainage all get handled in the same visit as the grading.
No mystery, no surprise invoice.
Walk the job
George comes out, looks at the ground with you and talks through what it actually needs.
A number before work starts
You get a price for the job in front of you, not a rate and a shrug.
The machine shows up
The equipment arrives when it was said it would, and the work runs start to finish.
Left clean
Ruts knocked down, ground graded, debris gone. The site is finished, not abandoned.

Questions about this work.
Not seeing yours? Call (989) 702-2426 and ask George, or read the guides.
Do I need a French drain or just grading?
Often just grading. The estimate says which, and why — we would rather sell the smaller job that works.
Where does the water end up?
At a daylight outlet, a ditch or an approved discharge point. A drain with nowhere to go is not a drain.
