Signs your property may need drainage work

- Water stands on the lawn well after a storm
- A landscape bed stays saturated or washes out
- Runoff cuts channels through mulch, soil or turf
- Downspouts discharge into an area that cannot drain well
- A patio, walkway or frequently used part of the yard stays muddy
These symptoms can have different causes. We look at how water reaches the problem area, how the ground slopes and where it can be directed before recommending a fix.
Drainage options tailored to your property

A drainage plan might involve a French drain, a downspout extension or another way to move surface water away from a problem area. The solution and route must fit the property. We also consider how drainage work will meet the lawn, landscaping and hardscaping so the finished area remains useful and attractive.
If water appears to be entering a building or affecting its foundation, tell us during the consultation. Structural or waterproofing concerns may require evaluation by an appropriate specialist; we can discuss the landscape drainage portion of the problem without promising a foundation repair.
Residential and commercial drainage

Wet spots affect more than curb appeal. They can interrupt mowing, limit outdoor use and make a business entrance or shared area unpleasant after rain. SK can assess drainage as a stand-alone landscape project or as part of a planned landscape installation or outdoor living space improvement. We serve properties across the greater Kansas City metro and build recommendations around the actual site.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a French drain? Maybe. A French drain is one possible approach, but the source of the water, grade and discharge location determine what makes sense.
Can SK help with water coming from a downspout? Yes. We can assess downspout discharge and discuss ways to move that water away from a problem area.
Can drainage work be part of a patio or landscape project? Yes. Water movement is worth planning before new beds or hardscape features are installed.
