How Our Process Works

Your drainage project starts with a site evaluation that maps existing water flow, identifies low spots, and assesses soil saturation patterns. Grading adjustments and drainage channel placement are planned based on property slope, nearby structures, and rainfall intensity common to Chattanooga. The goal is to redirect water efficiently without creating new problem areas or damaging existing landscaping.

During installation, Evolution Land Services uses excavation equipment, perforated pipe, gravel, and proper sloping techniques to build systems that perform through heavy storms. French drains are trenched, lined with filter fabric, filled with drainage stone, and covered to blend with your yard. Swales are shaped to channel surface water away from foundations and into safe discharge areas, and grading corrections ensure water moves as designed.

After installation, you receive guidance on maintenance steps like clearing debris from drain outlets and monitoring for settling. Systems are tested during the first rainfall to confirm flow and performance. Both residential yards and commercial properties benefit from tailored solutions that address hillside runoff, foundation risks, and landscape protection with techniques proven across Chattanooga's varied terrain.

Key Benefits of This Service

Property owners in Chattanooga often have questions about system types, installation timelines, and how drainage solutions handle local weather patterns. These answers clarify what to expect and why proper planning matters.

What's the difference between a French drain and a swale?
A French drain uses underground perforated pipe and gravel to move water below the surface, while a swale is a shallow, graded channel that redirects surface water. Both work well for Chattanooga's heavy rainfall.
How long does a drainage installation take?
Most residential installations are completed in one to three days depending on system size and terrain complexity. Commercial projects may take longer based on scope and site access.
Can you fix water pooling near my foundation?
Yes, grading corrections and French drains are designed to redirect water away from foundations and prevent moisture infiltration. Proper sloping and drainage placement protect structures and landscaping.
Will installation damage my yard?
Trenching and grading are part of the process, but disturbed areas are restored with topsoil and seed or sod. The goal is functional drainage with minimal long-term impact on your landscape.
Do you handle hillside drainage challenges?
Absolutely. Chattanooga's terrain requires systems that manage runoff from slopes and prevent erosion. Swales, retaining walls, and graded channels are all options depending on your site.
