Standing water isn’t just an eyesore—it’s a serious threat to your property’s foundation, landscape, and outdoor enjoyment. At Maxwell Landscape Construction, we specialize in designing and installing custom drainage solutions that effectively manage Atlanta’s unique water challenges.
Contact us today for a drainage assessment and reclaim your outdoor space.
Atlanta’s clay-heavy soil creates unique drainage challenges for homeowners. Unlike sandy soil that allows water to percolate naturally, our dense clay retains water, leading to pooling, erosion, and potential foundation damage.
Our drainage experts understand the specific challenges of local soil conditions and topography. We’ve helped hundreds of Atlanta homeowners transform waterlogged yards into beautiful, functional outdoor spaces through professional drainage system design and installation.
Common Drainage Problems We Solve:
Our drainage experts thoroughly evaluate your property, identifying water flow patterns, problem areas, and underlying causes. We consider your landscape design, soil composition, and specific challenges to determine the most effective solution.
Based on our assessment, we create a tailored drainage plan for your property. Solutions may include French drains, channel drains, dry creek beds, catch basins, or regrading—often combining multiple approaches for comprehensive water management.
Our experienced installation team implements your drainage solution with minimal disruption to your landscape. We use quality materials and proper installation techniques to ensure long-lasting performance.
After installation, we conduct a thorough inspection and can test the system during irrigation or rainfall to ensure proper function before considering the project complete.
Our most popular drainage solution redirects surface and ground water away from problem areas. These subsurface drainage systems collect water in a gravel-filled trench with a perforated pipe that channels water away from your home and landscape.
Surface drainage systems collect water at low points and direct it away from your property through underground pipes. Decorative catch basins can be integrated seamlessly into your landscape design.
Areas with standing water, wet spots in the lawn, or protecting foundations from water intrusion.
Driveways, patios, pool decks, and areas where water tends to pool.
Combining function with aesthetic appeal, dry creek beds manage water flow while creating an attractive landscape feature. These stone-lined channels direct water away from problem areas while enhancing your outdoor space.
Sometimes the best solution involves reshaping your landscape to direct water flow naturally away from structures and problem areas. Our expert grading services create proper slopes for effective drainage.
Visible areas where an attractive solution is desired, moderate water flow management, and erosion control on slopes.
New construction, solving drainage issues during landscape renovation, and properties with improper grading.
Our team has extensive experience with Atlanta's unique drainage challenges, particularly the notorious Georgia clay soil that retains water and creates drainage problems.

We use commercial-grade drainage materials designed to perform reliably for decades, even in Atlanta's challenging soil conditions.

Drainage solutions typically range from $15,000-$50,000 depending on the size of your property, the severity of your drainage issues, and the type of system required. We provide detailed estimates after a thorough on-site assessment.
While installation requires some excavation, our team takes care to minimize disruption to your landscape. We can often work around established trees and valuable plantings, and we restore disturbed areas after installation.
