Drainage Correction
in West Memphis, AR
French drains, standing water solutions, erosion control, riprap, and civil ponding for residential and commercial properties throughout West Memphis, Crittenden County, and the Memphis metro area.
Stop the Water.
Solve the Problem.
Water damage is progressive — what starts as a soggy yard becomes a foundation problem, a basement issue, or a washed-out driveway. The Memphis metro region's heavy clay soil and flat terrain make drainage correction one of the most common property needs in the area. We fix it permanently, not just temporarily.
French Drains
Water pooling near your foundation or in your yard?
Perimeter and area French drains that intercept water and redirect it away from your property. We dig to proper depth, install clean stone and fabric, and pipe the water to an appropriate outlet — not back into your yard.
Standing Water Solutions
Low spots in your yard that never fully dry out?
We identify where the water is coming from, where it's going, and design a solution that addresses both. Options include laser grading, subsurface drains, re-excavation, or detention routing — depending on the severity and the site conditions.
Erosion Control
Slopes eroding, channels forming, soil washing away?
We stabilize eroding slopes with riprap, retaining structures, and vegetation establish. Riprap channels handle concentrated water flow; retaining structures hold back soil on steep grades. Every solution is matched to the specific site conditions.
Riprap Installation
Drainage channel or slope washing out repeatedly?
Rip-rap — properly sized, properly installed — is one of the most durable erosion control methods available. We assess the flow volume and soil conditions, select the correct stone size, and install it correctly so it lasts decades without maintenance.
Laser Grading
Ground is too flat and water just sits there?
Precision laser grading to establish proper drainage fall across your entire property. Even in West Memphis's flat terrain, we can create enough slope to move water away from structures and off the property. Every pass is tracked to specification.
Civil Ponding & Detention
Commercial site with drainage compliance requirements?
We build and maintain detention ponds, retention basins, and stormwater management systems to municipal and engineering spec. Commercial sites, residential developments, and municipal work — all sized and graded to code.
Riprap & Drainage Channel
Memphis Metro Area
This project addressed a recurring erosion problem on a residential property near the Memphis metro — water coming off a paved surface had carved a channel through the yard and was threatening the foundation. We installed a properly sized riprap channel with inlet and outlet grading to handle the flow volume permanently.
Drainage problems that look simple usually aren't — they require understanding where the water comes from, where it wants to go, and the right intervention at the right point. We assess all three.
