Yard Grading & Drainage in Verona & Madison, WI
Water directed away from your foundation and landscaping, based on where it’s coming from and going.
Standing water, a wet basement, or a soggy lawn usually has one real cause somewhere upstream. We trace the actual water path before proposing a fix, so the solution addresses the source instead of just moving the problem to a different part of the yard.

Got water where it shouldn’t be?
Where water pools is rarely where the problem starts. Finding the source is most of the job.
Why Drainage Fixes Fail When They Only Treat the Symptom
A drain, French drain, or grading fix installed without tracing the actual water path usually just relocates the problem.
Relocated water turns into:
- Water rerouted to a neighbor's property or a different low spot in your own yard
- A French drain installed where water pools, not where it's coming from
- Grading changes that solve one wet spot while creating another
- Repeated fixes that never stop the underlying water problem
Drainage isn't a product you install, it's a route you choose. That means finding where the water enters the property and where it can legally and sensibly leave, then building whatever gets it from one to the other. Decide the destination first and the fix stops being a guess.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer free estimates?
Yes. We provide free, no-obligation estimates for all landscaping and hardscaping projects. We'll visit your property, discuss your vision, and provide a detailed quote within 5-10 business days.
What's the difference between landscaping and hardscaping?
Landscaping covers the living elements of your outdoor space — lawns, plants, trees, mulch, and irrigation. Hardscaping refers to the non-living, structural elements like patios, retaining walls, walkways, fire pits, and outdoor kitchens. We handle both, so we can design a space that blends greenery with durable structure.
How long does a typical project take?
Timelines vary by project size and scope. A basic garden bed refresh might take a day, while a full patio or retaining wall installation can take days/weeks. We'll give you a specific timeline estimate before work begins.
Do I need a permit for hardscaping work?
Some projects — like retaining walls over a certain height, fire features, or structures near property lines — may require a permit depending on local regulations. We handle the permitting process for projects that need it, so you don't have to navigate it yourself.
What's included in the price of my quote?
Our quotes typically include materials, labor, equipment, and cleanup. Any additional costs (like permit fees or unexpected site conditions such as poor soil or drainage issues) will be discussed with you before we proceed.
Do you offer maintenance after the project is complete?
Yes. We offer ongoing maintenance plans for lawns, plant beds, and hardscape upkeep (like re-sanding pavers or sealing stone) to keep your investment looking great year-round.
What forms of payment do you accept, and do you require a deposit?
We accept cash, check, credit card. Most projects require a deposit to secure your spot on our schedule, with the remaining balance due upon completion.
What time of year is best to start a landscaping or hardscaping project?
While hardscaping (patios, walls, walkways) can often be done nearly year-round depending on weather, spring and fall are ideal for planting and lawn work. We recommend booking early, since our schedule fills up fast during peak seasons.
