Landscape Grading & Drainage
Cave Junction, Oregon
We provide expert landscape grading and drainage services for residential and commercial projects across Cave Junction and Southern Oregon.
Rough
Landscape Grading
Rough grading serves as the initial step in site preparation, contouring the land to achieve correct elevations and slopes. During this phase, large debris is cleared and soil is moved to match the project’s design, forming a stable base that supports proper drainage, foundation work, and all subsequent construction activities.
Finish
Landscape Grading
Finish grading is the concluding stage following rough grading, where the land is carefully smoothed and leveled. This step fine-tunes slopes, readying the soil for construction or landscaping, while ensuring proper drainage and lasting stability across the site.
Final
Landscape Grading
Final grading is the critical finishing stage before landscaping or construction begins. It meticulously shapes the top layer of soil, creating gentle contours and swales that channel water away from buildings. When done correctly, this step improves drainage and helps prevent erosion, water pooling, and potential foundation problems.
Surface
Drainage
Surface drainage controls rainwater and runoff by guiding it along natural slopes or shallow channels. Strategically placed grading, swales, and berms direct water away from homes, driveways, and low-lying areas, providing a straightforward and efficient way to manage heavy surface flows.
French Drains
& Trench Drains
French and trench drains offer hidden, underground methods for controlling excess water. A French drain uses a gravel-filled trench with a perforated pipe to keep lawns and foundations dry, while trench drains with surface grates collect runoff from paved areas, preventing standing water and puddles.
Storm
Drainage Systems
Storm drainage systems handle large volumes of rainfall by channeling water into underground pipes or city storm sewers, helping to prevent flooding. They typically incorporate catch basins, downspout connections, and channel drains to efficiently move runoff away from buildings and landscaped areas.
Dry Well Installation
Dry wells are subsurface structures that collect excess runoff and gradually disperse it into the surrounding soil. They offer an effective solution for managing stormwater when standard drainage routes aren’t feasible, easing the load on municipal systems and helping to prevent surface flooding.
Downspouts & Drainage Pipes
These systems carry roof runoff away from your foundation through underground pipes or shallow surface channels. By redirecting water efficiently, they help keep basements and crawl spaces dry while enhancing overall site drainage and protecting the structural integrity of your property.
Catch Basin Construction
Catch basins capture surface runoff while filtering out leaves, dirt, and debris, letting cleaner water flow into connected drainage pipes. Installed in low-lying areas, they help prevent blockages and minimize the risk of flooding in yards, driveways, and other landscaped or paved areas.
