Managing Water on the Surface

Surface drainage handles water that flows across the ground, like runoff from storms, snowmelt, and sprinklers. We use swales, channel drains, catch basins, and small grade adjustments to move water away from homes, driveways, and patios. Good surface drainage prevents pooling, ice buildup, and erosion.

Surface Drainage in Monument

Swales on Sloped Lots

A swale is a shallow, landscaped channel that guides water. On sloped Monument lots, swales are often lined with river rock for a natural look.

Driveway and Patio Ice

Water pooling on driveways and patios can refreeze overnight. Channel drains and proper slope keep surfaces safer.

Starting With Grade

Many surface problems start with grade. Our grading and regrading service can fix slopes that send water the wrong way.

Underground Options

Some water needs to go underground. French drains can handle that.

Snow Piles and Melt

Where you pile shoveled and plowed snow matters. Piles near the house or on the uphill side of a driveway feed water toward places it shouldn’t go as they melt. We’ll look at where snow ends up each winter and plan drainage so that melt has a clear path away from your home and hardscape.
