Solving Coastal Georgia’s Toughest Yard Drainage Problems

Standing water, saturated turf, and poor lawn percolation damage foundations, ruin turfgrass, and turn yards into unusable mud pits after heavy coastal downpours. Savannah’s Landscaping Services designs and installs engineered drainage systems customized for the low-country topography across Savannah, Pooler, Richmond Hill, and surrounding areas.

Our Core Drainage Solutions

  • Custom French Drain Systems: Deep subsurface perforated pipe wrapped in non-woven geotextile fabric and washed gravel to permanently disperse trapped ground water.
  • Catch Basins & Channel Drains: Heavy-duty surface drains placed at gutter downspouts, driveways, patios, and pool decks to redirect heavy storm runoff.
  • Dry Riverbeds & Riprap Channels: Natural stone riverbeds that manage high-velocity runoff while enhancing landscape aesthetics.
  • Precision Grading & Swales: Laser-guided regrading to reshape your lawn slope and direct water safely toward municipal drainage easements.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Q: How long does a standard French drain installation take? A: Most residential French drain installations are completed in 1 to 2 business days, including site excavation, pipe installation, gravel backfill, and lawn restoration.
  • Q: How do I know if I need a French drain versus surface catch basins? A: French drains resolve soggy, spongy ground caused by rising water tables. Catch basins capture fast-moving surface water from roofs and concrete. We inspect your yard’s slope to engineer the exact setup you need.
  • Q: Do you pull utility locates before digging? A: Yes. We coordinate Georgia 811 utility markings prior to every excavation to ensure absolute safety.
