Drainage & Grading
Stop fighting the water in your yard.
ScapeWorx helps homeowners address standing water, runoff, soggy areas, erosion, and grading problems with solutions built around the property, not temporary fixes.
Look for the cause
Water problems are usually property problems.
Where water collects, how it moves, and what it affects all matter. The right solution may involve grading, drainage structures, re-contouring, planting, hardscape adjustments, or a combination of improvements.
Signs your property may need help
Small water problems can become expensive ones.
Standing water
Water remains in the yard long after rain has stopped.
Runoff
Water moves toward the home, patio, beds, or neighboring property.
Soggy areas
Parts of the lawn or landscape stay soft and difficult to use.
Erosion
Soil, mulch, or planting areas wash out during storms.
Basement concerns
Water management outside may be affecting the foundation or lower level.
Unusable spaces
Water prevents you from using the yard the way you want.
Possible solution areas
The right fix depends on what the water is doing.
Grading & re-contouring
Change the shape of the property so water moves in a better direction.
Drainage systems
Collect, redirect, or move water away from the areas it is damaging.
Hardscape transitions
Address patios, walkways, walls, and edges that affect drainage paths.
Landscape restoration
Repair beds, lawn, planting, and surfaces after the water problem is addressed.

Questions homeowners ask
Drainage and grading FAQs.
Can you tell me what drainage solution I need?
The right recommendation depends on the property, grades, flow, and what the water is affecting.
Do you handle standing water and runoff?
Yes. Standing water and runoff are two of the most common problems we are called about, and both are addressed by looking at where the water comes from and where it is getting stuck.
Can drainage work be part of a larger landscape project?
Yes. Drainage is often handled alongside grading, planting, hardscape, and lawn restoration so the finished property looks right as well as drains right.
Do you only install a single type of drainage system?
No. The solution may involve grading, drainage structures, re-contouring, planting, hardscape adjustments, or a combination of improvements.
Why is grading important?
Proper grading helps move water away from your home, foundation, and landscape beds. Without it, water can pool in the wrong places, create muddy areas, and contribute to erosion or long-term damage.
How do I know if I have a drainage issue?
Common signs include standing water after rain, soggy lawn areas, mulch or soil washing away, wet spots that never seem to dry out, and water collecting near the home or hardscape.
Can ScapeWorx fix existing drainage problems?
Yes. We evaluate how water is moving through the property, identify the likely cause, and recommend a drainage solution designed to solve the issue at the source.
What homeowners say
The kind of work homeowners remember.
