💧 Drainage Solutions in Medina, Cuyahoga & Summit County

Protect Your Home, Lawn & Foundation with Professional Water Management

Poor drainage is one of the most common—and most damaging—problems homeowners face in Northeast Ohio. Heavy rainfall, clay soils, uneven grading, and freezing temperatures can cause water to collect around your home, leading to foundation issues, basement leaks, lawn damage, soil erosion, and unhealthy landscapes.

At HollandScaping, we provide complete drainage solutions designed to protect your property from water damage and ensure your lawn and landscaping remain healthy year-round. We serve homeowners across Medina County, Cuyahoga County, and Summit County, offering custom drainage systems built for the unique soils and weather conditions of our region.

Whether you need a French drain, downspout extensions, regrading, catch basins, or a complete yard drainage system, our team has the experience, tools, and expertise to solve your water problems permanently.

Why Proper Drainage Matters

Water can be one of the most destructive forces on your property if it’s not managed correctly. Even small drainage issues—like standing water or pooling after rain—can grow into major, expensive problems.

✔ Prevent foundation damage

Water that collects near the foundation can seep into cracks, weaken concrete, and cause structural issues over time.

✔ Keep your basement dry

Hydrostatic pressure from groundwater is a leading cause of basement leaks and flooding in Ohio homes.

✔ Protect your lawn & landscaping

Excess moisture suffocates roots, encourages fungus, and makes your yard muddy and unusable.

✔ Reduce erosion & soil loss

Proper drainage prevents soil from washing away during heavy storms.

✔ Improve the appearance & usability of your yard

A dry, stable lawn means you can use your yard comfortably without mud, puddles, or ruined grass.

✔ Increase property value

Homes with strong water management systems are safer, healthier, and more appealing to buyers.

Our Professional Drainage Solutions

We don’t offer “one-size-fits-all” systems. Every yard is unique, and so is every drainage challenge. HollandScaping provides customized solutions based on your property’s grading, soil type, existing structures, and problem areas.

Here are the drainage solutions we most commonly install:

1. French Drains

A French drain is one of the most effective ways to redirect groundwater away from your house, lawn, or landscaping beds. It uses a gravel-filled trench with perforated pipe to channel excess water to a safe outlet.

Best for:
• Yards with standing water
• Homes with basement moisture
• Areas with compacted or clay soil

2. Downspout Extensions

If your downspouts empty water too close to your home, it can lead to foundation damage and basement leaks. We install underground or above-ground extensions that carry water safely away.

Best for:
• Wet basements
• Water around the foundation
• Overflow near the roofline

3. Yard Regrading

Sometimes the slope of your lawn directs water toward your home instead of away from it. We correct the grading to ensure proper surface water flow and prevent pooling.

Best for:
• Low spots in the yard
• Water flowing toward the house
• Areas that stay muddy for days

4. Catch Basins & Drain Boxes

These drains collect surface water and route it through buried piping to a lower, safe discharge area.

Best for:
• Driveways
• Patios
• Areas with frequent puddling
• Heavy runoff zones

5. Dry Wells

Dry wells collect excess stormwater and allow it to slowly drain into the surrounding soil over time.

Best for:
• Yards without a natural runoff slope
• Homes with high water tables
• Areas needing quick water relief

6. Sump Pump Discharge Rerouting

If your sump pump drains too close to your house, it can cause the same water to cycle back into your system. We reroute the discharge line further away.

Best for:
• Sump pumps that run nonstop
• Recirculating groundwater
• Saturated lawns

7. Swales & Drainage Channels

A swale is a shallow, grassy channel that moves water naturally across your yard while blending with your landscape.

Best for:
• Large properties
• Natural water flow paths
• Areas needing subtle, attractive drainage

Our Drainage Installation Process

We approach each drainage project with careful planning and technical precision.

1. Property Assessment

We walk your property, identify the source of the water issue, and evaluate the soil, slope, downspouts, and low areas.

2. Custom Design

We build a drainage plan that targets the root cause, not just the symptoms. Every system is tailored to your yard’s natural elevation and water flow patterns.

3. Installation

Our installation includes trenching, pipe installation, gravel bedding, grading adjustments, and landscape restoration. We use high-quality materials designed to withstand Ohio’s freeze-thaw cycle.

4. Final Inspection

Before completing the project, we ensure water flows correctly and that your yard is fully restored and functional.
