Water Moves Differently in Orono — That’s Why Our Systems Do Too
Outdoor Drainage Solutions for Orono's Homes and Businesses

Smart Water Management for the Shores, Woods, and Slopes of Orono
Orono isn’t just a lakeside town — it’s a place where elevation changes dramatically, soils can shift from sand to clay in a single yard, and stormwater knows how to find the path of least resistance. That’s why cookie-cutter drainage plans don’t cut it here.
Homeowners along Crystal Bay or Lake Classen might struggle with water pooling due to low points in the landscape or high water tables. KG Landscape often installs french drains beneath lawn areas and backfill the trenches with the right gravel mix to control subsurface flow. Our carefully designed systems move water away from your home’s foundation and prevent damage to your property.
In areas off of Brown Road or Old Crystal Bay Road, sprawling properties with private roads can collect significant runoff during heavy rain. The KG Landscape team uses catch basins, surface drainage, and dry creek beds to move water efficiently across long distances while preserving the surrounding soil and tree lines. Where appropriate, we also install sump pump discharge systems and tie them into larger drainage networks.
Orono’s hillside homes and wooded lots — particularly near Carman’s Bay or Tanager Lake — benefit from custom grading solutions. We create systems that redirect surface water safely while respecting the natural landscape and avoiding disruption to root zones or mature trees. Often, we combine slope correction with decorative elements like rain gardens to keep everything functional and beautiful.
We’ve also worked with estates and lakefront properties that needed to balance aesthetics with effective and safe water movement. Whether it’s standing water in your yard or erosion creeping toward your patio, we will tailor each outdoor drainage solution to your property’s structure, soil, and scenery.

What Our Clients Say About Our Services
Questions We Hear from Orono Clients
What makes drainage more difficult in Orono?
The combination of slope, dense vegetation, and proximity to water creates complex water drainage problems. In many neighborhoods, water doesn’t sit still — it moves fast and unpredictably. We use gravel filled french drains, catch basins, and strategic grading to manage runoff without harming surrounding soil or property structures.
Can drainage systems work with Orono’s older or wooded properties?
Yes, absolutely. Our outdoor drainage solutions are designed to work with mature trees and legacy landscaping. We install sump pump discharge lines and install a french drain system that respects root systems while keeping water from pooling in your yard.
What if I have a steep lot near the lake?
Lots near lakes like Minnetonka or Forest Lake often have unique slope and soil combinations. We use layered drainage systems — combining downspout extensions, rain gardens, and dry creek beds — to safely manage moving water and prevent water damage to your property.
