Drainage Solutions in Atlanta

Poor drainage can cause more than just soggy spots in your lawn—it can damage foundations, erode soil, drown plants, and ruin hardscaping. That’s why Hedges and Edges Landscaping offers expert drainage solutions across Atlanta, customized to solve the unique water problems on your property. Whether you’re seeing standing water, runoff issues, or erosion, our team assesses the problem and installs proven systems to redirect water safely and effectively. We help homeowners protect their landscapes and their homes with long-term drainage solutions that are as functional as they are discreet.

Why Drainage Issues Happen

Atlanta’s heavy rains and sloped lots can create drainage problems that standard landscaping can’t fix. Common causes include poor grading, clay-heavy soil, clogged downspouts, and compacted turf. These issues prevent water from flowing away from your home, often pooling around foundations, drowning plant beds, or leaving muddy patches in your lawn. If you’re constantly dealing with wet spots, standing water, or erosion—even days after rain—it’s time for a professional drainage evaluation.

Our Drainage Services Include:

Site Evaluation & Water Flow Mapping
We start with a full inspection of your property to understand how water moves across it. We identify low points, slope issues, and potential causes of poor drainage. This allows us to design a solution that addresses the source—not just the symptom.

French Drain Installation
French drains are one of the most effective and discreet ways to move water away from problem areas. These gravel-filled trenches contain perforated pipes that collect and redirect water underground—protecting lawns, garden beds, and foundations from long-term water damage.

Grading Corrections
Improper slope can trap water instead of moving it away. We reshape your landscape where needed, ensuring rainwater flows naturally away from your home and toward safe drainage areas. Grading is essential to prevent foundation problems and lawn erosion.

Downspout Extensions & Drain Ties
Sometimes the solution is as simple as rerouting gutter runoff. We can extend your downspouts or tie them into subsurface drainage systems so that water doesn’t pool near your home or patio.

Surface Drains & Catch Basins
For areas with rapid runoff, we install catch basins and channel drains that collect water at the surface and funnel it away through underground piping. These are especially useful near patios, driveways, or problem corners of your yard.

Drainage + Landscape Integration
All our drainage work is designed to blend seamlessly with your landscape. We avoid visible pipes or disruption and can restore turf, mulch, or plantings after the solution is installed.
