Trusted Grading & Drainage Contractors Near You

If you’re searching for grading and drainage contractors near me, Green Acres Landscaping is your local expert for long-term drainage solutions.

We combine knowledge of local soil conditions with top-quality materials to create stable, effective systems.

Whether you need yard grading for drainage, French drains, or downspout extensions, we design every project with durability and efficiency in mind.

Our team ensures your property is properly sloped to direct rainwater away from your home, helping you avoid puddling, foundation cracks, and muddy lawns.

We take pride in delivering dependable grading and drainage services that keep your property dry, safe, and beautiful year-round.

Land Leveling

Low spots filled and high spots cut back so rainfall sheets evenly across the lawn instead of collecting in puddles.

French Drain Installation

A gravel-bedded perforated pipe that collects subsurface water and carries it to a safe outlet well away from the house.

Downspout Extensions

Roof runoff piped past the foundation, so your gutters stop emptying into the same soggy spot beside the house.

Swale Creation

A shallow, planted channel shaped into the grade to guide heavy runoff along a route you choose.

Regrading Problem Areas

Targeted reshaping of the trouble spots — soggy corners, settled beds, and slopes that pitch back toward your home.

We had a previous retaining wall that had fallen apart. After coming by and giving us an estmate, they started promptly on the rebuild. The workers also kept the area clean each day. Would highly recommend!

Used this lawn service to replace grass (new sod) in front yard, put in irrigation & mulch. Took only 2.5 days and bid was best by a couple hundred dollars. Front yard looks like carpet! Will use again if needed.
