Expert Drainage Assessment and Design in Damascus, MD

Standing water, soggy lawn patches, and water pooling near your foundation are common problems for Damascus, MD homeowners. The heavy clay soil found throughout Montgomery County absorbs water slowly, which means runoff has nowhere to go after a hard rain. A proper drainage assessment finds exactly where water is collecting and why. At Elevation Landscapes, we walk your property, read the slope, study the soil, and map how water moves across your yard. From that on-site evaluation, we build a drainage design specific to your land, not a one-size-fits-all fix. The design accounts for your yard's grade, existing landscaping, and the flow paths water takes during heavy rainfall. That plan becomes the blueprint for any drainage work that follows. As a locally owned company, we give every Damascus property our personal attention from the first site visit through the final design. If you are seeing water problems on your property, contact Elevation Landscapes to schedule your drainage assessment.

We hired Elevation Landscaping to fix a water issue from a poorly done addition grading job. They came quickly, redirected water away from the house and ended up doing landscaping around the whole house. My house went from a complete disaster to an enjoyable place for family and friends. We will be hiring them for a “phase 2” landscaping job on our property.

Boyd was a pleasure to work with! He met with us to discuss our needs and delivered above and beyond! Easy and quick to schedule and complete the job. After having a newborn, our landscaping was ignored and needed some big time TLC. He and his team were efficient and did beautiful work trimming, weeding, edging, and mulching. Also left the job site neat after completion. We look forward to using Elevation Landscapes again in the future for our landscaping needs!

Boyd was great to work with, did our shed pad and installed a drain for our window due to bad grade. Highly recommend!
