French Drains, Surface Drains & More
Persistent water pooling around your foundation, driveway, or yard damages structures, kills grass, and creates mosquito breeding grounds. Our drainage solutions redirect water away from high-risk areas using professionally graded channels and quality materials built for Hudson Valley freeze-thaw cycles.

Site Prep, Grading & Excavation
Proper excavation and grading are the first steps in any major outdoor project. We clear, level, and shape your land so that pools, patios, retaining walls, and ponds sit on a stable, well-drained base. Our team uses professional equipment sized for residential and light commercial sites throughout Newburgh and Orange County.
- Site preparation, including land clearing, stump removal, and debris hauling
- Finish grading to establish correct water flow away from structures
- Pool and patio excavation with precise depth and slope control
- Pond and water feature excavation with proper shelf and grade design
The Cost of Ignoring Water Problems
The average foundation repair in New York costs between $5,000 and $12,000. In most cases the damage is caused by poor drainage that could have been corrected for a fraction of that price. Saturated soil also undermines retaining walls, cracks walkways, and drowns expensive plantings.
Addressing drainage proactively protects your investment in your home and landscape. Our team evaluates your entire property, identifies trouble spots, and recommends the right combination of drains, grading adjustments, and pumps to keep water where it belongs.

French drains handle subsurface water that seeps through the soil toward your foundation. Surface drains collect water that pools on top of the ground after rain. During our free assessment, we evaluate the water source, soil type, and slope to recommend the right solution, or a combination of both.
Most residential French drain and surface drain projects are completed in one to three days, depending on the length of the run and soil conditions. Larger projects involving multiple drain lines and re-grading may take up to a week. We provide a timeline during your estimate.
