🌧️ Drainage Solutions & Water Management
At JG Grading & Landscaping, we understand how critical proper drainage is in protecting your home, your land, and your investment. With heavier rain and more unpredictable storms across our region, having a reliable drainage system isn’t a luxury — it’s a necessity.
Our Drainage Solutions are designed to permanently fix water problems — not mask them. Whether you’re dealing with standing water, erosion, or flooded basements, our team designs and installs systems that move water where it belongs and protect your property for the long haul.
We’re not weekend warriors. We’re full-time professionals delivering turnkey grading, drainage, and water management systems — built with precision, backed by experience, and guaranteed to last.
💦 What We Offer
We don’t believe in “one-size-fits-all.” Every property drains differently — and every system we install is custom-designed to fit your site’s elevation, slope, and soil type. From regrading and culverts to French drains and catch basins, our solutions work together to protect your property from the ground up.
🏠 Foundation & Yard Drainage
Your foundation’s stability depends on proper grading and drainage.
We carefully regrade and shape the land around your home to redirect surface water safely away from the structure, preventing pooling, erosion, and cracks.
This proactive approach keeps your foundation solid and your crawl space or basement dry.
💧 Drain Boxes & Catch Basins
In flat yards or low-lying areas, standing water often has nowhere to go.
We install drain boxes and catch basins to collect and redirect water through underground piping, safely discharging it downhill or into designated runoff zones.
Each installation uses heavy-duty, commercial-grade materials for years of dependable performance.
🚜 Culvert Pipes & Driveway Crossings
A culvert done wrong can cause thousands in damage.
We size and install culvert pipes the right way — ensuring proper flow under driveways and access roads without washouts or erosion.
From excavation and bedding to backfill and compaction, we handle every step with precision.
🌿 French Drains & Subsurface Drainage
If your lawn never dries out or your retaining wall stays damp, a French drain can be a game changer.
Our systems use perforated pipe wrapped in fabric and surrounded by gravel to naturally redirect groundwater.
They’re ideal for lawns, retaining walls, and areas that hold moisture long after a storm.
🌦️ Gutter Downspout Drain Lines
Your gutters collect tons of roof runoff — but if that water drains next to your foundation, it defeats the purpose.
We extend downspout drain lines underground to discharge water safely downhill or to daylight, keeping your foundation, siding, and yard protected during every heavy rain.
📐 Drainage Planning & System Design
No two properties drain the same, which is why every project begins with a site drainage assessment.
We map slope, grade, and runoff patterns before installation to make sure every line and basin works together as a system — not a patchwork.
Using laser-accurate grading equipment, we install each system for lasting performance and minimal maintenance.
🔧 Repairs & Upgrades
If you already have a drainage system that isn’t working, we can inspect, diagnose, and repair or upgrade it.
From collapsed pipes to undersized culverts, we correct improper installs and bring your system up to standard.

Your Drainage Questions, Answered
We believe in transparency and education — here’s what to know before starting your drainage or water-management project.
- What’s the best type of drainage system for my property?
It depends on your land’s slope, soil type, and how water naturally flows. Some properties need surface drains like catch basins and culverts, while others require subsurface systems such as French drains or downspout lines. At JG Grading & Landscaping, we assess your entire site before recommending the right solution — not a one-size-fits-all fix.
- How do I know if I have a drainage problem?
Common signs include standing water after rain, soft or soggy spots in the yard, water stains along your foundation, erosion, or gravel washing out of driveways. If you notice any of these, it’s best to schedule an inspection before it causes foundation damage or structural issues.
- Can you tie my gutter downspouts into an underground drain system?
Yes — and we recommend it. Connecting your downspouts to buried drain lines moves roof runoff safely away from your home and prevents erosion and crawl-space moisture. It’s one of the simplest and most effective ways to protect your foundation long-term.
- Do you only handle residential drainage, or do you work on commercial properties too?
We do both. From residential yards and driveways to commercial sites, parking areas, and construction drainage, we’re equipped for any size project. Our professional-grade equipment and experience allow us to handle large-scale grading and water-control systems efficiently.
- Can you fix or upgrade an existing drainage system that isn’t working?
Absolutely. We often repair or redesign systems that were installed incorrectly or undersized. We can inspect, identify the problem, and either modify or rebuild your system to perform the way it should — efficiently and long-term.
- How soon can you come out to look at my drainage issue?
We typically schedule site visits within a few days depending on workload and weather. You can call or text 252-432-9215 to speak directly with John Glover and get your consultation on the calendar.
- How much does a drainage system cost?
Pricing depends on several factors — such as the type of system, total footage, depth, materials, and access for equipment. Smaller surface drainage jobs may start around $1,500–$3,000, while more extensive systems with French drains, catch basins, or culverts can range from $4,000–$10,000+. We always provide a custom estimate after an on-site visit, explaining your options clearly so you can make an informed decision that fits your needs and budget.
- Will you break down the quote so I can understand my options?
Yes — absolutely. Every estimate we provide is written clearly, showing exactly what’s included and what’s optional. We explain each part of the drainage system and give you options when possible, such as pipe types, layout choices, or optional upgrades. Our goal is for you to fully understand your quote before any work begins — no confusion, no surprises, and no pressure.

Did a great job clearing several acres of our property that had become overgrown. It was a difficult job and they took extra care to not damage any trees. They also did a great job regrading the areas that were very uneven from past work others did on the land. Easy to work with, responsible and professional. I highly recommend them.
John is a true professional that knows his business. Stayed in contact before the job was done. Showed up on time and did a great job straightening out some erosion problems I had and gravelling our driveway. Highly recommend.
Had JG Grading and Landscaping out to my new construction home for a driveway and grading job. He did a fantastic and quick job at a reasonable price. His attention to detail was top notch concerning the design of my new driveway. Highly recommend!
