Why Choose a French Drain?
A French drain is a highly effective solution for combating drainage issues across an outdoor space. It’s a sloped trench featuring perforated pipework and gravel. Its ultimate aim is to divert water away from a building.
A professionally installed drainage & French drain option is one of the most effective ways to channel ground and surface water away from your landscaping. By getting rid of water pools on your lawn, you reduce the risk of overwatering and the downsides, such as root rot.
After installation, we cover your French drain with soil and vegetation. Therefore, it’s the ideal option if you want a drainage solution that blends into your landscaping. You don’t have to drastically alter the look of your yard to deal with your drainage issues.
French drains are also cheap to install and don’t take as much time to complete compared to other types of yard drainage systems. Perhaps most importantly, a properly installed French drain requires minimal maintenance, so it can serve your drainage needs for years.

Our French Drain Installation Process
At ShurLawn & Landscape, we understand that every landscape is different. At the beginning, this might mean surface water management services, including the French drain installation process, with a thorough survey of the affected area.
During this stage, we’ll also determine if you need a sump pump installed. The sump pump might be necessary for moving water from low-lying areas away from your landscape.
Next, we’ll dig the drain trench around the area, stretching away from your landscape and your home’s foundation. We line the channel with filter fabric before installing the pipe to keep sediment from filling it. Upon completion, we’ll backfill the trench with gravel to give the area a clean look and maintain uniformity with the rest of your landscaping.
Our highly experienced crew takes care during the digging process to avoid disturbing any other pipes buried across your yard or damaging utility lines.
Why Hire Professional Drainage Contractor Services for Your French Drain Installation?
On the surface, French drains are simple enough. These drainage systems take advantage of gravity to move water. However, it takes a professional to efficiently install them and determine the best way to use gravity.
Working with an experienced team on the project could be the difference between solving your drainage problem and making things worse. Many DIY installers implementing water runoff control on their own, end up rerouting water to another problem area, causing even more damage to their property.
Additionally, you can be sure that poorly installed French drains will fail quickly. Sediments will clog up the channel in months, leading to a repeat installation.
A thriving landscape requires more than occasional care—it needs expert attention. From design to ongoing maintenance, professional landscape services create an outdoor environment that is both inviting and sustainable.
