Grading & Drainage
Move water where you want it — away from your foundation.
Sierra Brothers Landscaping is a fictional demonstration business. Service descriptions are illustrative. Verify any licensed, permitting or regulatory requirements with current official sources.
Overview
Good grading and drainage protect your home and yard. We re-grade to direct surface water away from foundations, install French drains, dry creek beds and surface drains, and solve standing-water problems at the source.
Appropriate Uses
- Water pooling near foundations
- Wet, soggy lawn and bed areas
- Erosion from downspouts and slope runoff
Local Considerations
- Hard, slow-draining soils make surface grading critical
- Downspout and slope runoff is common on Reno-Sparks hillsides
- Dry creek beds double as drainage and a design feature
Project Factors
- Source and volume of water
- Slope and outlet options
- Soil type and percolation
Safety & Scope Limitations
- Tying into public storm systems requires permits and licensed work — we coordinate
Next Steps
- Walk the problem areas in and after rain
- Grading and drainage plan
- Install and test in real conditions
