What Our Clients Are Saying

Homeowners trust Orion Hardscape to look beyond the obvious problem and understand how their landscape and hardscape work together.

Start With Where the Water Is Going

Drainage problems can be annoying because what you see isn’t always where the problem starts. Water may collect in one part of the yard because of a slope somewhere else, the way surrounding areas were built, or how the ground carries runoff after heavy rain.

That’s why we don’t want to guess.

We look at the property, existing grades, lawn, landscape beds, patios, walkways, walls, and the areas where you’ve noticed trouble. Understanding how everything connects gives us a much better idea of what may need to change.

Grading and drainage are less about making something decorative and more about making the yard work properly. When it’s done well, you may simply notice that the problem area isn’t a problem anymore.

Process

First We Figure Out What’s Happening

Before talking about a solution, we need to understand the property. What happens during or after rain can tell us a lot about how the yard is working.

Step
01

Tell Us About the Problem

Let us know where water collects, how long it stays, and anything else you’ve noticed around the property.

Step
02

We Look at the Yard

We’ll examine the grade, problem areas, surrounding landscape, and existing hardscape.

Step
03

Talk Through the Options

Once we understand the situation better, we’ll explain what we’re seeing and discuss the approach that makes sense.

Step
04

Schedule the Work

After the scope is approved, we’ll coordinate the drainage or grading project.

Step
05

Get More Use Out of Your Yard

When problem areas work better, the rest of your outdoor space becomes easier to enjoy too.

Why choose us

Drainage Problems Rarely Exist in Just One Spot

The wet patch in your lawn may only be one part of what’s going on. Drainage is affected by slopes, surfaces, landscape features, and the way water travels through the property. We look beyond the puddle itself.

We Start by Observing the Property

There’s a big difference between seeing standing water and understanding why it keeps showing up.

We take time to look at the surrounding yard before recommending work.

We Understand Hardscape Too

Patios, walkways, retaining walls, and other hardscape can all affect how an outdoor space is laid out.

Because hardscape is a major part of what Orion does, we can consider those existing features while looking at the drainage issue.

We Keep the Solution Grounded in the Problem

Drainage work shouldn’t be more complicated than the property actually requires.

We focus on understanding what’s happening first and then discussing an approach that fits the situation.

We Think About What Happens After the Work

Fixing one issue shouldn’t make another part of the yard harder to use.

We consider how the drainage or grading work fits with the lawn, landscaping, and other outdoor areas around it.

Frequently Asked Questions About Drainage & Grading

Water issues can be confusing because the cause isn’t always visible. These questions cover some of the things homeowners often notice before calling us.

Question text goes here

Answer text goes here

Why does the same part of my yard stay wet?

There can be several reasons, including the slope of the property and the way water reaches or leaves that area.

Seeing the property is usually the best way to start figuring it out.

Is standing water always a drainage problem?

Standing water is a sign worth looking into, but we don’t want to diagnose the cause without seeing the space.

Different properties can have similar symptoms for different reasons.

What is the difference between drainage and grading?

Grading refers to the shape and slope of the ground, while drainage deals more broadly with how water moves through or away from an area.

The two can be closely connected depending on the property.

Can poor grading affect my lawn?

Areas where water repeatedly collects can certainly make parts of a yard harder to use or maintain.

If you’re seeing the same wet areas again and again, it’s worth taking a closer look.

What if water collects near my patio?

Existing hardscape is something we consider when evaluating drainage.

We’ll look at the patio and surrounding areas to better understand where the water may be coming from and where it is going.

Do all drainage problems require major work?

Not necessarily. The amount of work depends entirely on what’s causing the issue.

That’s another reason we prefer to evaluate the property before talking about a specific solution.

Can you grade only one section of a yard?

That depends on the property and the issue we’re trying to address.

Sometimes one area may be involved, while in other situations we need to consider a larger section to understand how water is moving.

Can drainage be planned during a new hardscape project?

Drainage should be part of the conversation when planning outdoor improvements where water movement may be relevant.

If you’re considering a patio, walkway, wall, or other project, tell us about the full scope.

How much does drainage and grading cost?

There’s no meaningful flat price because properties and drainage problems vary so much.

Once we see the yard and understand the work involved, we can provide an estimate.

What information should I give you when I call?

Tell us where the water appears, when you notice it, and what happens after rain.

Photos or observations can be useful, but seeing the property will give us the clearest picture.
