We offer a handful of drainage solutions such as French drains, downspouts, dry creeks, etc. Each option is a viable solution to solving drainage issues within the home. Let us walk you through the types of drainage solutions in Kansas City and Overland Park, that you can get for your home.

What are French drains?

After a rainfall, water tends to accumulate in one’s yard. When the water collects, it doesn’t allow for a solid escape route for the water, causing it to damage your lawn. A French drain in Kansas City requires creating a small, stylish trench in your yard by removing dirt. The trench is then filled with rock, gravel, or sometimes a hollow pipe. These rocks or gravel work to disperse the water over a wider surface area. When the water is dispersed evenly across the rocks, it solves the issue of standing water problems. Installing a French drain in Kansas City and Overland Park is a prime way to keep water from accumulating in your lawn.
