French Drains & Yard Drainage, done right.
Water that sits on the lawn for days, a soggy strip along the foundation or a downspout that dumps into the same low spot every storm are all signs the yard needs drainage. Much of MetroWest has heavy clay soil that drains slowly, so rain and snowmelt have nowhere to go on their own.
A French drain is a gravel trench with a perforated pipe that collects water underground and carries it away. It can run to a dry well, an underground chamber surrounded by stone that lets the water soak back into the soil slowly, out of sight. Done right, the yard dries out after a storm and the water stays away from the house.

It depends on the length of the trench, how deep it needs to go, the soil, access for equipment and whether a dry well is part of the job. The best way to know is a free estimate: text photos of the wet area to (508) 397-1622 and we reply within 24 hours.
A French drain collects water along a trench and moves it. A dry well is where that water goes: an underground chamber surrounded by stone that lets it soak into the soil slowly. Many yards use both together.
There is digging, but when we finish we backfill, grade and restore the area with loam so the lawn can grow back over the trench.
Yes. Roof water is one of the most common causes of a soggy yard, so we often run downspouts into the drain or dry well.
No. Our drainage work is outdoors in the yard. For water inside the basement, a waterproofing specialist is the right call.
Often booked together.
