Drainage
French Drains · Catch Basins · Downspout Lines · Grading
Olive Branch Landscape Management fixes standing water, soggy lawns and wet foundations for homes and businesses in Conway, Faulkner County and the Little Rock metro, including Greenbrier, Vilonia, Mayflower, Maumelle and Sherwood. Central Arkansas clay soil drains slowly, so spring storms leave water pooling against foundations, drowning plant roots and turning lawns to mud. We find where the water is coming from and install French drains, catch basins, downspout lines and grading that carry it to a safe outlet. Call (501) 513-7573 for a free drainage estimate.
We start by finding where the water comes from and where it wants to go, so the fix lasts instead of moving the puddle.
We walk the yard after rain, check gutters, downspouts and grade, and see where water collects and where it runs off.
Low spots and backward slopes get regraded so surface water flows away from the house instead of toward it.
French drains, catch basins and downspout extensions carry water to a safe outlet instead of letting it sit against your foundation.
Downspouts are piped underground to daylight or a pop-up emitter, so roof water never sits against your slab or crawlspace.

French drains collect water that soaks through the soil and carry it away in a perforated pipe, which is best for long soggy areas and along foundations. Catch basins collect surface water at a low spot or downspout and send it through solid pipe, which is best where water pools after storms. Many yards need both.
Conway’s clay soil soaks up water slowly. Spring and fall storms drop more rain than the ground can take in, so it sits on the surface, runs toward the house or collects in low spots for days. Fixing it means giving the water a path: grading to move surface water and pipe to carry it off the property.

We look at the whole yard, not one wet spot. Because we also build patios, beds and retaining walls, we know how grade, hardscape and planting affect where water goes, and we design the drain to fit the yard you have or the one you are planning.
