Yard Drainage Solutions in Edmond, OK

A yard that holds water after rain isn't just inconvenient — it damages turf, kills landscaping, attracts mosquitoes, and can create long-term erosion problems. We solve yard drainage problems for homeowners throughout Edmond and Oklahoma County, using surface grading, french drains, and catch basin systems designed for your specific property.

Why Yards Hold Water

Standing water in a yard is almost always the result of one or more of three conditions: soil that drains too slowly (common with clay in Oklahoma County), low spots in the grading where water naturally concentrates, or runoff from neighboring lots, driveways, or downspouts that overwhelms what the yard can absorb. Identifying the correct cause determines which solution will actually work.

Surface vs. Subsurface Solutions

Some yard drainage problems are best addressed at the surface — regrading to direct water flow, adding swales, or adjusting downspout outlets. Others require subsurface solutions like french drains or catch basins to handle water that's entering the yard from below or from neighboring properties. We assess which approach fits your situation and explain the tradeoffs before any work begins.
