What drainage solutions includes
Standing water and soggy patches usually mean water has nowhere to go. We install French drains, re-grade problem areas and add channel drains to move water away from your home, patio and lawn before it causes damage.
Fuquay-Varina homeowners: Fuquay-Varina has grown fast, and a lot of the properties we service there are newer builds that need everything from initial sod and mulch beds to ongoing mowing and seasonal cleanups. We also handle the older, more established parts of town where mature trees and bigger yards are the norm. Wherever you are in Fuquay-Varina, we bring the same equipment and standards we use on every job.
French drains
Underground perforated pipe systems that redirect water away from problem areas.
Yard grading
Re-sloping your yard so water naturally flows away from your home instead of pooling.
Channel drains
Surface-level drains across patios, driveways and low points to capture runoff.
Drainage Solutions in Fuquay-Varina: good to know
Clay soil drains slowly, so standing water is common in Fuquay-Varina yards. Where that water is allowed to go is partly set by local rules.
Are there rules about where a yard drain can go in Fuquay-Varina?
Fuquay-Varina does not allow walls, fences or structures in drainage easements and advises against planting trees in them. Residential work that disturbs less than an acre is exempt from the Town's stormwater regulations, which covers nearly every backyard drainage fix.

NC State Extension notes that Piedmont subsoil is high in clay, so water moves through it slowly and it can stay wet for long periods, and that compaction from home construction makes it worse. Source: NC State Extension: Modifying Soil for Plant Growth Around Your Home.

Drainage Solutions questions
How do I know I need drainage work?
Standing water after rain, soggy patches that never dry, erosion channels, or water collecting near the foundation.
French drain or re-grading?
We walk the property and recommend the fix. It is often a combination of grading and a drain line.
Will it tear up my yard?
Trenches are backfilled and the surface restored. Sod or seed goes back over the line so it disappears within a season.
