Yard Drainage & French Drain Installation

If you have standing water after every storm, a lawn that stays soggy for days, or water working its way toward your foundation, you have a drainage problem — and unlike a patio or a planting, this is a problem, not a want. It won't wait, and it won't get cheaper.

Central North Carolina drainage is its own animal. Much of Lee and Moore County sits on Sandhills soil — sandy on top, with dense clay layers underneath. Water drains fast through the sand, then hits that clay shelf and has nowhere to go, so it pools in low spots, saturates lawns, and pushes against foundations. Drainage fixes that work in other regions often fail here because they ignore that clay layer. We design around it.

Green Garden Landscaping designs and installs french drains, surface drainage, grading, downspout extensions, and dry creek beds for homes across Sanford, Pinehurst, Southern Pines, Aberdeen, and Pittsboro. We start every job with a free on-site assessment — often during or right after rain — to see exactly where your water starts, where it goes, and which combination of solutions your yard actually needs.
