Drainage and Grading in Lebanon, OH

Yard drainage, French drains, downspout lines and regrading for Lebanon properties dealing with standing water, soggy lawns or water near the foundation.

One Lebanon client called us about a hillside that kept sliding. We applied over 300 yards of topsoil and spent almost two weeks stabilizing it. Five years later we are still working with that family, most recently on a sidewalk and steps connecting the driveway to the pool deck.

Another Lebanon backyard went from open lawn to a finished pool landscape with a retaining wall, terraced beds, a pergola and a rock water feature.

Drainage and Grading in Lebanon: common questions

Why does my Lebanon yard hold water?
Dense clay soil drains slowly and flat or reversed grades send water toward low spots and foundations. We find where the water comes from and where it can go.
Is a French drain the right fix?
Sometimes. Often the answer is a mix of regrading, downspout lines and a drain. We walk the property after a rain if we can and design the fix around it.
Can drainage be done with a new patio or wall?
Yes, and it is the best time to do it. We plan drainage into every hardscape project.
