These systems are perfect for both residential backyard drainage solutions and commercial drainage systems, ensuring water flows safely away from your property.

Buried Downspouts / Underground Downsprouts

Improperly installed underground downspouts often lead to foundation drainage issues and water damage. Our buried downspout installation ensures rainwater is redirected safely underground, away from your foundation. This essential exterior drainage system prevents flooding and pooling near your home, protecting it from potential damage and erosion.

Channel Drain Installation

Channel drains are an effective solution for areas prone to heavy runoff, such as driveways, patios, and walkways. These drains capture excess water and channel it to a safe discharge point. We provide professional channel drain installation to keep your yard dry and prevent water from collecting where it shouldn't. Whether you're dealing with surface water or stormwater, channel drains are a key part of your drainage plan.

Regrading / Excavation

Proper yard grading is essential for ensuring water flows away from your home and not toward it. Whether you need to fix sloped yard drainage issues or improve water distribution, our regrading and excavation services will adjust the grade of your yard to direct water to the appropriate drainage areas.

Dry Well Installation

For properties with significant runoff or drainage issues, a dry well installation is a highly effective solution. These underground structures collect excess water and allow it to slowly filter into the ground, reducing surface flooding. Dry wells are a great way to manage stormwater, and we customize them to meet your property’s specific drainage needs.

Drain Tile Installation

Drain tile installation is a highly effective solution for directing water away from your yard or foundation. This system uses perforated pipes surrounded by gravel to transport water away from problematic areas, such as wet basements or areas prone to flooding. Our expert team installs drain tile systems that are designed to last and keep your property dry.

Catch Basin Installation

A catch basin is an essential part of your landscape drainage solutions. Installed in low spots, catch basins collect surface water and direct it away from your home’s foundation. These systems prevent water from accumulating in your yard and causing long-term damage, such as erosion or flooding.

Common Drainage Problems in Michigan

Many homeowners in Michigan and nearby communities, face similar drainage problems, particularly due to the local climate and soil conditions. Some of the most common drainage issues include:
Standing Water
This occurs when water fails to properly drain off your property after a rainstorm or snowmelt, leading to puddles in low-lying areas of your yard. Yard drainage problems like this are often caused by improper grading or clogged yard drains.
If water is not diverted away from your foundation, it can seep into the basement or cause cracks in the foundation, leading to expensive repairs. Installing a drainage system like a French drain can help prevent this damage.
When water is not properly directed away from your yard, it can erode soil, leading to damage in landscaping and plant growth. Landscape drainage solutions like catch basins and dry wells can help prevent soil erosion.
Poor drainage around the foundation can lead to water entering the basement, causing flooding and potential damage. Our drainage repair services offer solutions such as sump pump installations and French drains to mitigate these issues.
If your yard is consistently soggy, it may be a sign of inadequate drainage, often caused by poor soil permeability or improper grading. Implementing proper lawn drainage pipes and yard drainage systems can help resolve this issue.
If you’re dealing with any of these common drainage problems, Grow Garden and Landscape Design can provide customized solutions to protect your property from further water damage.
