Foundation Protection
Expert Soil Grading
Permanent Solutions for Colorado's Runoff
Unmanaged water is the greatest threat to your property’s value. In the Denver area, heavy spring storms and rapid snowmelt frequently cause devastating soil erosion and hydrostatic pressure that shifts foundations and cracks concrete. We do not just patch the problem; we engineer the cure. From rerouting downspouts to excavating deep French drains, we control exactly where the water flows to permanently stabilize your property.
We excavate and install perforated pipes surrounded by high-grade drainage aggregate and filter fabric to capture subsurface water and safely direct it away from your home.
We incorporate custom catch basins, sleek channel drains, and dry creek beds to swiftly manage heavy surface runoff during sudden downpours.
Our experts re-contour your landscape, correcting negative slopes to ensure water naturally and safely flows away from your living spaces.
We protect your premium Belgard patios and retaining walls by alleviating the underground water pressure that causes severe winter frost heave.

Stop avoiding your backyard after every rainstorm. Severe pooling turns usable space into a muddy swamp and threatens your basement.

Frequently Asked Questions
If your yard has standing water for days after a storm, or if the soil feels constantly spongy, you likely have a subsurface water issue requiring a deep French drain. Surface grading is generally used when water flows directly toward your foundation instead of away from it. During our on-site consultation, we assess your unique terrain to determine the exact combination of grading and drainage needed to protect your property.
Trenching is necessary to install underground pipes and French drains, which requires moving soil. However, as a premier design-build firm, we specialize in complete yard restoration and total yard overhauls. We seamlessly blend the new drainage solutions into your existing landscape, often hiding them beneath decorative dry creek beds or restoring the turf so your yard looks vastly better than before.
Yes. On the rolling hills of the Denver Metro Area, retaining walls are crucial for stopping soil erosion and managing slopes. When we build a luxury Belgard retaining wall, we always install a dedicated drainage system (including a perforated pipe and weep holes) directly behind the wall. This prevents dangerous hydrostatic pressure from building up and ensures water is safely channeled away from your patio or home.
