Surface Water Drainage Solutions in Lancaster County, PA
Creative Water Solutions That Add to Your Garden
Too much of a good thing? Excess surface water can lead to serious and costly problems if not properly mitigated. Over the years, we have helped many clients manage surface water that flows toward, around, and through their properties. Our surface water solutions are designed to be discrete, often out of sight or stylistically incorporated into your garden. We would be pleased to design and install a landscape that solves your garden drainage issues.
Contact us if you have water-drainage challenges which require our drainage landscaping design and installation services.
Careful Planning and Installation
It is important that water-control measures function as intended but also appear to be integrated into the landscape or garden rather than stuck on as an afterthought. We will work diligently to make sure that grades, structures, and plantings flow together in a harmonious way, to look natural, not contrived. We can also manage all aspects of water-control projects, from planning and design to excavation, installation, and plumbing.
Discrete, Seamless Integration
We build water-control features that add interest to our clients’ gardens through the textures they employ. A simple drain can display the rugged boulders of a stream or the finished appearance of a curb or seating wall.
