- Water pooling in low or flat areas

Solution Options for Maple Grove’s Landscape Drainage Challenges
Drainage Solutions We Offer in Maple Grove
💧 French Drain Installation
French drains are one of the most effective solutions for managing groundwater in clay soils. By collecting water below the surface, these systems prevent saturation and redirect water to proper outlets.
French drains are commonly used for:
- Wet backyards and side yards
- Drainage between closely spaced homes
- Water buildup near foundations
- Areas where surface grading isn’t enoug
🌱 Yard Drainage & Grading Improvements
We design custom yard drainage solutions based on how water moves across your property. In many cases, drainage improvements are paired with subtle grading adjustments for better results.
These solutions help:
- Speed up drying times
- Improve lawn health
- Prevent recurring water problems
🏠 Downspout Drainage Systems
Roof runoff can quickly overwhelm clay soils. We install downspout drainage extensions and underground piping to safely move water away from the home and into designated drainage areas.
This reduces stress on:
- Foundations
- Patios and walkways
- Landscape beds and turf
Built for Clay Soils & Minnesota Weather
All of our drainage systems in Maple Grove are designed specifically for clay soil conditions and freeze-thaw cycles. Proper materials, slope, and installation ensure the system continues to work year after year.

Outdoor Drainage Systems Built for Maple Grove Conditions
Maple Grove properties experience a broad spectrum of water drainage problems — from rapid spring snowmelt that saturates surrounding soil, to sudden summer storms that leave standing water on flat lawns. Whether you live near Fish Lake, Rice Lake, or in a newer development like The Grove, you’ve likely seen how water behaves unpredictably in your yard. That’s where we come in.
Our team has designed outdoor drainage solutions for everything from wooded estate homes to compact suburban lots. Sandy patches in north Maple Grove require one drainage strategy; clay-heavy soils near Elm Creek demand another. We adapt our approach for every project, installing a french drain where subsurface drainage is needed or using dry creek beds where surface water needs both redirection and visual appeal.
In neighborhoods like Donegal, Boundary Creek, or Woodland Creek, we’ve mitigated water damage by installing catch basins and building comprehensive drainage systems that keep basements dry and lawns usable. We know where to backfill the trench for maximum efficiency, which type of gravel to use, and how to optimize water flow without disrupting your existing landscape design. Surface water control is more than just a fix — it’s about preserving the integrity of your property while keeping it functional and beautiful.
We also account for Maple Grove’s varied elevations and proximity to environmentally sensitive areas. Properties adjacent to parks or wetland buffers require special attention to ensure compliance with environmental regulations while solving water drainage problems effectively. Our systems are carefully engineered to avoid disrupting nearby ecosystems while still delivering the drainage performance you need.
Commercial properties near The Shoppes at Arbor Lakes or along I-94 face increased impervious surface runoff. We handle that, too, with scalable drainage systems and sump pump integration designed to manage both heavy rainfall and municipal compliance. From installing a catch basin that blends into a storefront entryway to ensuring proper slope control behind office complexes, our outdoor drainage solutions protect your investment — rain or shine.

What Our Clients Say About Our Services
Answers to Real Drainage Questions from Maple Grove Clients
How do you approach drainage near Maple Grove’s lakes and wetlands?
Homes near Rice Lake, Fish Lake, or one of Maple Grove’s many wetlands face unique drainage pressures due to the high water table. We install french drains and sump pumps to keep basements dry and prevent water from pooling near foundations. Our use of catch basins and properly backfilled trenches ensures excess water is efficiently captured and diverted from vulnerable zones.
Are newer developments in Maple Grove more or less prone to water drainage problems?
Even though newer homes in developments like The Grove or Cedar Island Hills are often graded initially, over time settling and landscaping changes can lead to water drainage problems. We regrade areas, install surface drainage paths, and extend downspouts to correct the water flow, all while maintaining the neighborhood’s curb appeal and landscape investment.
What maintenance is needed for these drainage systems through Minnesota’s changing seasons?
Seasonal upkeep is essential. Before winter, it’s important to clear out catch basins and inspect sump pump discharge lines. In the spring, we check french drains for blockages caused by freeze-thaw cycles and assess the condition of any gravel filled trenches or dry creek beds to ensure surface water is moving freely and not creating new pooling in your yard.
