Yard Drainage Solutions & Installation
Puddles that won’t drain, a soggy patch that never dries out, or water creeping toward your foundation, Pacific Lawn Sprinklers finds where it’s coming from and designs a system to redirect it for good.
Drainage system installation is the process of designing and installing yard drainage solutions that capture, redirect, and disperse excess water so it doesn’t collect around your home. Depending on the problem, that might mean a French drain installation, a catch basin, a dry well, or a channel drain. Pacific Lawn Sprinklers designs and installs new systems and repairs existing ones that have stopped working, considering how your drainage and irrigation work together rather than as two separate problems.
This is for any homeowner noticing water where it shouldn’t be, standing in the yard after it rains, collecting near the house, or turning part of the lawn into a permanent mud pit. It’s also common for properties where the actual cause isn’t obvious: sometimes a drainage problem is really an irrigation problem in disguise, a sprinkler zone oversaturating one area while the rest of the yard stays dry.
Left alone, standing water rarely stays a cosmetic problem, it moves. It works its way toward parts of your property that are far more expensive to repair than the drainage issue that caused it. And it doesn’t slow down on its own, a puddle that shows up every time it rains this year is the same puddle that’s still there next year, just with more damage stacked underneath it.
Pacific Lawn Sprinklers evaluates the conditions around your property to determine where water is collecting, how it’s moving, and what needs to change.
We check irrigation first. Because we also specialize in sprinkler systems, we look at whether your irrigation is contributing to the problem, oversaturating one area, running when it shouldn’t, or poorly zoned, before assuming drainage alone is the fix.
One team, one visit. We can install drainage and irrigation together, adjust your sprinkler system’s distribution, or upgrade it with smart controllers and moisture sensors that work alongside your new drainage system.
If you need a full new sprinkler system installation as part of this project, or your current system needs repairs first, our team can handle both.
No two properties handle water the same way, but these are the problems we solve most often. Our drainage technicians identify the actual source before recommending a fix, not just where the water happens to be pooling.
Persistent puddling damages plants, creates muddy areas, and draws mosquitoes. We identify the source of the excess water and design a system, often catch basins or a French drain installation, to move it where it belongs.
Water collecting near your foundation raises the risk of leaks and structural damage. We install catch basins and underground drainage to route it safely away from your home.
Saturated soil starves roots of oxygen. French drains, dry wells, and atrium grates in planter areas redirect the excess water so plants can actually use it instead of drowning in it.
Standing water on driveways, walkways, and pool decks is a safety hazard and a slip risk. Channel and trench drains capture and redirect runoff from these areas.
Water seeping toward a basement or crawl space is a long-term structural concern. Foundation drainage systems redirect it before it becomes one.
A successful drainage system starts with understanding how water actually moves across your property.
We assess where water is collecting, evaluate runoff patterns, and identify what’s contributing to the problem, including whether your irrigation system plays a role.
Based on our evaluation, we design a plan that may combine French drains, catch basins, dry wells, or channel drains, whatever the property actually needs.
Our technicians install the system with attention to proper water flow, integrating with your existing irrigation system where needed.
Before we finish, we test the system and make any adjustments needed to confirm water is moving as intended.
We walk you through how to keep the system working efficiently over time.
The right fix depends on where water collects and where it needs to go. Whether you need lawn drainage solutions for a soggy yard or hardscape drainage for a flooded patio, we install:
With more than 45+ years of experience in irrigation and drainage, Pacific Lawn Sprinklers is backed by our On Time or On Us and 100% Customer Satisfaction Guarantees, with no contracts or prepayments required.
Unlike companies that only specialize in drainage, we evaluate your needs alongside your existing sprinkler system, since the two affect each other in both directions, oversaturated irrigation can cause pooling, and poor drainage can throw off how evenly your system waters in the first place.
Sometimes the problem isn’t drainage at all, it’s an irrigation system that’s oversaturating one area. We check both before recommending a fix.
Left unmanaged, water damages more than your lawn, foundations, basements, patios, walkways, and even stairways are all at risk. A proper drainage system installation protects the whole picture, not just the visible puddle.
Our Flo-Well® stormwater retention systems let water safely leach back into the soil, protecting local waterways instead of sending runoff straight into the street.
Every property is different, cost depends on the type of solution needed, how much excavation is involved, and how the system integrates with your existing irrigation. The best way to get an accurate cost is a consultation with your local Pacific Lawn Sprinklers team.

A French drain uses perforated pipe surrounded by gravel below the surface to collect excess water and redirect it away from problem areas, a reliable, low-visibility solution for chronic wet spots.
Yes. A clogged French drain, a collapsed dry well, or a debris-filled catch basin can all fail over time. We diagnose the actual cause and repair or replace the failing component, rather than assuming you need an entirely new system.
It depends on where water collects, how it moves across your property, and what’s actually causing it, a low spot needs a different fix than water pooling near your foundation. Pacific Lawn Sprinklers evaluates your property before recommending French drains, catch basins, dry wells, or another yard drainage solution, rather than defaulting to one fix for every yard.
Cost depends on the type of solution needed, how much excavation is involved, and how the system integrates with your existing irrigation. Your local Pacific Lawn Sprinklers team can provide an accurate quote after evaluating your property, and qualifying projects may be eligible for financing.
