Drainage & Erosion Control

Water that has nowhere to go ends up where you don’t want it: pooling in the lawn, soaking the soil against your foundation, washing mulch and topsoil down a slope, and sitting long enough to breed mosquitos. Drainage, waterproofing, and erosion control is the heart of what we do, and the goal is simple: no more muddy yards, fewer mosquitos, and a dry, usable outdoor space.

Born and raised in Northern Virginia, Allen blends deep plant knowledge with drainage expertise to solve your yard’s toughest challenges. That combination matters, because a good drainage fix moves the water where it can soak in or flow away safely while the lawn and planting beds around it stay healthy.

Every yard is different, so the fix depends on where the water comes from and where it can go. That can mean a narrow, hand-trenched line for perforated drainpipe that routes runoff away from the foundation and HVAC pad; a dry well, an underground reservoir bedded with clean stone that collects roof and yard runoff and lets it slowly infiltrate; or a catch basin and trench drain that capture standing water and carry it away through drainage pipe. Basins and pipe are set to the correct depth and slope, then backfilled with stone to keep water moving.

Most drainage projects are completed in about a day and a half, depending on the size and complexity of your yard. We work efficiently to minimize disruption while ensuring quality results, and we stand behind the work with a 3-year warranty.
