Drainage Solutions in Lexington, KY
Drainage solutions are grading, French drains, and swale work that redirect standing water and runoff away from your Lexington property's foundation, patio, and low spots.

Kentucky clay drains slow, so we grade, install French drains, and cut drainage swales that carry water away from foundations, patios, and low spots.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does water pool in the same spot every time it rains?
Kentucky clay compacts fast and drains slow, so runoff has nowhere to go but the lowest point in your yard. We run a grading assessment first, checking slope away from the foundation (builders typically aim for a 2 percent grade, about a quarter inch drop per foot) before recommending a French drain or swale fix.
How deep does a French drain need to be?
Most residential French drains sit 12 to 24 inches deep, angled to daylight or a catch basin. We wrap perforated pipe in landscape fabric and gravel to keep silt out, then tie it into existing grading so water leaves the property instead of resurfacing near your foundation or patio.
