Drainage Solutions in New Smyrna Beach, FL
Florida gets the rain; your lot has to deal with it. Flat coastal lots, high water tables, and summer downpours mean standing water is one of the most common problems we see — and one of the most damaging when it's ignored. Soggy ground kills grass, breeds mosquitoes, rots fence posts, washes out beds, and can eventually work its way toward your foundation.
We design and install drainage that fits the actual problem:
French drains for water that sits in low spots or against structures — perforated pipe in washed gravel, graded to carry water where you want it, not where gravity dumped it.
Swales and regrading for lots where the simplest fix is reshaping how surface water moves. Often the right answer for water pooling along property lines and fences.
Downspout and gutter drainage to get roof water — which is a surprising volume in a Florida storm — piped away from the house instead of trenching your beds and flooding the same corner every time.
Catch basins and dry wells where water has nowhere to run and needs somewhere to go.
Washout and erosion fixes around fence lines, driveways, and beds.
Drainage and irrigation are two halves of the same job: it makes no sense to put water down precisely in the morning and let rainwater destroy the yard in the afternoon. Because we do both, we design drainage that works with your sprinkler system — not through it. (More than one "mystery" soggy spot we've been called out for turned out to be a leaking irrigation line, which is a much cheaper fix than a drain.)
If part of your yard stays wet for days after a storm, that's not something Florida sun will solve. Call 386-426-7976 for an honest assessment anywhere in New Smyrna Beach, Edgewater, Port Orange, or Volusia County.
