French Drains

Living in the south, we see a lot of problems with water puddling in yards and around foundations. As a result there are problems with foundation damage, erosion, and a whole plethora of issues. One of the most common issues we see is something many never think of: termite damage! Termites love moisture.  When moisture is allowed to gather around homes and in your yard, it's an open invitation to these pesky creatures. 

 One of the most effective (and cost effective) ways to prevent this from happening is to install a french drain. French drains are installed by digging a narrow trench from the ground area that holds water to a lower lying area, installing geotextile cloth, rock and a pipe for the water to drain through. When completed, the area is covered and finished. We often finish the area with sod. Some customers ask for pavers or a landscaping rock. Whatever the finish, we guarantee customer satisfaction.
