Excavation and Drainage Solutions Built for Long-Term Performance
Proper grading, excavation, and drainage are the foundation of every great outdoor project.
Excavation & Drainage Work
Drainage Done Right Is Invisible. Done Wrong, It Destroys Everything Around It.
Water is the number one cause of hardscape failure in New England. A patio shifts because water pooled underneath it. A retaining wall fails because there was no drainage stone behind it. We solve the water problem first — before any surface work goes in.
Proper Site Grading
Every project starts with reading how water moves across the property. We grade so it flows away from structures and doesn't collect anywhere it shouldn't.
French Drains & Catch Basins
Where grading alone isn't enough, we install the right underground drainage system for the site conditions — not a one-size-fits-all solution.
Dry Wells & Outlet Points
Water has to go somewhere. We design the full system so it terminates correctly and doesn't just move the problem to a neighbor's yard.
Foundation of Every Other Project
If excavation and drainage aren't right, everything built on top of it eventually fails. We treat this as the most important phase of any build.

How We Approach Every Drainage Project
Excavation and Drainage Questions
How do I know if my yard has a drainage problem?
Standing water after rain, soggy spots that never dry, washouts in beds, or water heading toward the foundation. If you see any of these, the grade or drainage needs attention.
Can outside drainage work help a wet basement?
Often, yes. Regrading so water runs away from the house and moving roof runoff with proper drainage frequently solves it. We assess where the water is coming from before recommending anything.
Do you do site prep for sheds, additions, or pools?
Yes. Excavation, grading, and base preparation for structures is core work for us. A structure is only as good as the ground under it.
How do I get a drainage assessment and price?
Send the form below or call. We walk the property, find where the water goes, and quote the fix. We typically respond within one business day.
