Custom Yard Drainage Systems That Work with Your Property Layout

Standing water in your yard doesn't just create mud and mosquitoes—it weakens turf, drowns landscaping, and saturates the soil around your foundation. You might see water sitting for hours after rain or notice soft spots that stay wet for days. Allied Water Services designs custom drainage systems that eliminate standing water by redirecting runoff where it belongs, based on how your property slopes and where water naturally flows.

Solutions include surface drains for low spots, subsurface piping to move water underground, and grading adjustments that guide runoff away from problem areas. Each system is built around your property's unique layout and runoff patterns, not a one-size-fits-all template. This approach protects lawns, landscaping, and foundations from prolonged moisture exposure.

If water pools in the same spot every time it rains, a permanent drainage fix is likely more cost-effective than repeated repairs to turf and plantings.

How Our Process Works

The process begins with walking your property to identify where water enters, where it collects, and where it needs to discharge. You'll see us marking drainage paths, measuring slopes, and mapping out the system before any digging begins. Installation may involve trenching for underground pipe, setting catch basins in low areas, or regrading sections of the yard to change how water moves.

Once the system is installed, water drains away within minutes instead of sitting for hours or days. Allied Water Services uses gravel, filter fabric, and durable pipe to ensure long-term performance without clogging or collapse. The system is designed to handle typical rainfall without surface flooding.

We work on both residential and commercial properties, adjusting the design based on lot size, existing landscaping, and local soil conditions. This is not a temporary surface fix—it's a drainage system built to function year after year. If your property has multiple problem areas, we can phase the work or address everything in one project depending on your priorities.

Property owners often want to understand what drainage work will look like on their lot and how the system will perform over time. These questions cover the most practical concerns before moving forward.

What causes standing water in a yard?

Water pools when the soil can't absorb it fast enough or when the ground slopes toward a low spot with no outlet. Clay-heavy soil and compacted areas make the problem worse.

How do you decide where to place drains?
We follow the natural flow of water across your property and place drains where water collects or slows down. The system is designed to intercept runoff before it pools.

Will the drainage system affect my landscaping?
Trenching is required for underground pipe, but we work around existing plants when possible and restore the surface after installation. Surface drains are installed flush with the ground.

What happens during heavy rain?
The system is sized to handle typical storm volumes. Water drains quickly instead of sitting, though extreme rainfall may still cause brief surface flow until it enters the system.

How long does a yard drainage system last?
With proper materials and installation, these systems function reliably for decades. Maintenance is minimal—occasional cleanout of surface grates if debris accumulates.

If standing water is damaging your lawn or creating problems near your foundation, a custom drainage system can restore your yard's usability and protect your property long-term. Contact us to schedule a site evaluation and discuss your options.
