Carry water away from soggy spots, low corners and foundations with a French drain dug by a local, veteran-owned crew.
When a French Drain Helps
If water sits in the same part of the yard after every rain or sprinkler cycle, or runs toward the house instead of away from it, a French drain gives it somewhere to go. A trench is dug along the problem area, lined, filled with drain rock around a perforated pipe, and run to a spot where the water can safely drain.
- Lawns that stay soggy or muddy for days
- Water pooling near a foundation, patio or walkway
- Low corners where runoff collects
- Downspout water that needs to be carried away from the house
How We Do It
We focus on small jobs, with no minimum job size, using our skid steer and small excavator. We do not do concrete work. We call 811 before we dig, so buried utility lines are marked before any digging starts. We dig the trench with our small excavator, haul off the extra dirt, and leave the area cleaned up. If the yard also needs reshaping so water flows the right way, we can pair the drain with grading in the same job.
Getting Started
Text a photo of the area to (208) 297-3326 with a short description of what you want done. Photos of where the water collects, and where you would like it to go, help us plan the job.
FAQ
French Drain Installation Questions
Do you call 811 before digging a French drain?
Yes. We call 811 before we dig, so buried utility lines are marked first.
Can you fix the slope of my yard too?
Yes. We can grade the yard with our skid steer so water flows away from the house, in the same job as the drain if you need both.
Is there a minimum job size?
No. Small jobs are welcome, from one soggy corner to a longer run along the yard.
