Outdoor Drainage Solutions for Wayzata's Homes and Businesses
Wayzata’s scenic beauty comes at a cost — when water moves the wrong way, it does real damage. At KG Landscape, we build outdoor drainage solutions that preserve elegance and prevent problems. From hidden dry creek beds to precision downspout work, we match our drainage systems to Wayzata’s sophistication and complexity.

Tailored Drainage for Wayzata’s Waterfront Homes, Slopes, and Soils
Wayzata properties are as diverse as they are beautiful — with stately homes on wooded lots, steep driveways, and backyards that spill toward the lake. What they all have in common is the need for precision water control.
Properties off of Ferndale Road or Bushaway Road often experience runoff that flows directly toward the home. We use a combination of surface drainage techniques and french drains to intercept and reroute water before it reaches your foundation. For added protection, we backfill the trench with gravel selected to support water flow while stabilizing surrounding soil.
Many homes near Wayzata Bay face seasonal flooding from fluctuating lake levels. In these cases, we design outdoor drainage solutions that include sump pump systems, catch basins, and downspout management tailored to absorb, store, and move excess water with minimal visibility. Our gravel filled designs ensure long-term functionality while blending into high-end landscape features.
Steep grades and decorative hardscapes — common in neighborhoods like Holdridge and Locust Hills — require systems that balance form and function. We use grading, dry creek beds, and rain gardens to channel moving water across slopes without disturbing stonework, plantings, or views.
In newer developments or expanded lots, grading discrepancies can trap surface water in unexpected corners. These areas benefit from our hybrid approach, combining traditional surface drainage with low-profile creek beds that move runoff naturally. By taking soil type, slope, vegetation, and usage patterns into account, we build drainage systems that are invisible in form but essential in function.
We also provide drainage systems for new builds and renovations, ensuring compliance with modern codes while protecting custom landscape investments. Whether your concern is pooling in your yard or erosion creeping into your lawn, we create solutions designed to protect Wayzata’s value and vision.

What Our Clients Say About Our Services
Your Questions, Answered by Our Wayzata Team
What drainage issues are common for lake-adjacent homes?
Homes near Wayzata Bay or Gray’s Bay often deal with both high water tables and runoff flowing toward the home. We install gravel filled french drains, sump pumps, and catch basins to manage water safely and protect both your foundation and surrounding soil. Downspout extensions also help reduce pressure near structures.
Can your systems handle steep driveways or multi-tiered yards?
Yes. Wayzata’s elevations require thoughtful drainage design. KG Landscape specializes in creating surface drainage plans, dry creek beds, and gravel filled trenches that carry moving water across elevation changes without disturbing the existing design. Our systems keep water away from structures and patios while blending into the natural grade.
Will a drainage system interfere with my landscape design?
Not at all. We design and install french drains, downspout extensions, and rain gardens with absolute discretion. Each system we create is planned to avoid disruption to focal points, plantings, or hardscapes. The result? Outdoor drainage solutions that disappear into your landscape while keeping your home and yard dry.
