Protect Your Property

Water problems usually start long before you see standing water.
New construction, improper grading, heavy clay soils, and roof runoff can all create pressure around your home and yard. We often step in to correct issues that weren't handled properly the first time - or that have developed over time.
At Soil Friends Excavation, we design and install drainage systems that manage water the right way.

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all systems. Every property is different, and the solution depends on slope, soil type, elevation, and how water is moving across the site.

Our drainage work includes:

• French drain systems to reduce water pressure and subsurface saturation
• Downspout drainage to capture and move roof runoff away from the home
• Surface grading to improve natural drainage and eliminate low spots
• Integrated systems that manage both surface and subsurface water

Our goal is simple — move water away from your home and create a yard that actually dries out and functions.

Most drainage systems rely on natural slope. But some properties have negative grade, trapped low areas, or too much water volume for gravity alone to handle.

In these situations, we install:

• Catch basins to collect surface water
• Subsurface collection systems tied into sump basins
• Sump pumps to actively discharge water away from the property

These systems are used when water needs to be moved quickly and reliably, even when the land doesn’t allow for natural drainage.

For properties with higher water volume or limited drainage options, we also install:

• Stormwater drainage systems
• Infiltration systems and dry wells
• Leach field and subsurface drainage systems (designed and permitted when required)

These solutions are typically used when water needs to be managed below the surface or dispersed across the property in a controlled way.

We handle the full process from start to finish:

• Site evaluation and layout
• Laser grading and elevation planning
• Excavation and material hauling
• Drainage system installation
• Final grading and yard restoration
• Permit Application and site contact ( if required)

We also coordinate around existing features like sprinkler systems and utilities to ensure everything works together properly.

Water issues don't fix themselves - they get worse over time.
We build drainage systems that are designed for your specific property so you can protect your home, reduce water problems, and get your yard back to usable condition.
