Yard Drainage & Grading in Atlanta, GA

We offer yard drainage and grading services for properties in Buckhead, Brookhaven, Sandy Springs, Chastain Park & surrounding Atlanta neighborhoods.

If water is pooling in your yard after heavy rain, it can lead to serious problems for your lawn and property. Poor drainage can damage turf, wash away soil, and even contribute to foundation or basement issues if water collects near your home. Installing the right drainage and grading solution can redirect excess water away from problem areas and protect your landscape from long-term damage.

At Hedges & Edges Landscaping, we install drainage systems designed to move water away from your property and help prevent erosion, flooding, and standing water. Each drainage solution is designed based on the layout of the property and the specific drainage problem that needs to be corrected.

Types of Yard Drainage Systems We Install

Different drainage issues require different solutions. Our team installs several types of drainage systems designed to redirect water away from your property and improve how your landscape handles rainfall.

French Drains: French drains are one of the most common drainage solutions. They use a buried perforated pipe surrounded by gravel to collect excess water and redirect it away from problem areas. This type of system is especially helpful for areas where water tends to sit in the soil or near foundations.

Dry Creek Beds: Dry creek beds are both functional and decorative. These systems use a shallow trench lined with stone to guide water across the property and away from areas where it would normally pool. They can help control erosion while also adding a natural visual feature to the landscape.

Channel Drains: Channel drains are commonly installed near patios, driveways, or other hard surfaces where water tends to collect. These drains capture surface runoff and redirect it away from the area to prevent standing water.

Restore Damaged Lawn Areas After Drainage or Grading Services

After installing a drainage system, some areas of the lawn may still need attention—especially if flooding has damaged the grass or compacted the soil. To help restore these areas, we offer new lawn services such as seeding and sod installation.

When performing these services, we prepare the soil and grade the area as needed to improve drainage and help prevent water from pooling again. Seeding or installing sod after drainage or grading work allows damaged areas of the lawn to recover while improving the overall appearance of the property.
