Do You Have a Drainage Problem?
Walk outside after a heavy rain. If any of these look familiar, your property is telling you something needs to change.
- Standing water: Puddles that linger for days after rain ends.
- Soggy lawn: Spongy ground that squishes underfoot long after the storm passes.
- Foundation pooling: Water collecting against your home’s foundation.
- Basement moisture: Dampness, musty odors, or visible water in your basement.
- Downspout overflow: Gutters dumping water right next to your foundation.
- Erosion: Soil washing away from garden beds, slopes, or around your foundation
- Mosquito areas: Stagnant water creating breeding grounds for pests.
If you’ve experienced any of these signs, you’re not alone. Drainage problems are the most common landscape issue we see in St. Louis homes. The good news? They’re fixable when you understand what you’re dealing with.

Why Drainage Problems Matter
Water doesn’t wait. Every time it rains, problems that aren’t addressed get worse.
Foundation Damage
Water pooling against your foundation isn’t just messy; it’s dangerous. Soil expands when wet, putting pressure on foundation walls. Cracks form. Water seeps in. What started as a puddle becomes a structural problem costing tens of thousands to repair.
Flooding
A yard that can’t drain becomes a yard that floods, no matter the amount of rain. Water finds the lowest point, and sometimes that’s your basement, crawlspace, or finished lower level. One heavy storm can undo years of work.
Landscape Damage
Soggy soil kills grass, causes roots to rot, and weakens trees. Garden beds wash away. What should be the pride of your home becomes a muddy mess you can’t use.
Mold & Moisture Problems
Where water sits, moisture follows. Where moisture lingers, mold grows. Basements become musty. Air quality suffers. Health problems emerge. All from water that never should have been there.
This isn’t just about inconvenience. It’s about protecting the single biggest investment most of us ever make.
Your home. Your family’s health. Your peace of mind.
Drainage Installation Services
Installing yard drainage systems isn’t just about moving water. It’s about engineering a permanent solution.
Custom Drainage System Design
Every system we install is fully custom and designed to match your property’s exact conditions. We account for soil composition, property slope, water volume from roofs and hardscape, existing grading, and neighboring property drainage patterns.
Unlike companies that reuse generic layouts or dig where water pools, our designs are created in-house by experienced professionals who understand real-world conditions.
Our White Glove Drainage Installation Process
Our installation process is structured, thorough, and designed to eliminate surprises.
Step 1: Site Evaluation & Drainage Diagnosis
Before any work begins, our team thoroughly evaluates your property to understand the root cause of your drainage issues. We walk the yard, listen to your concerns, and examine grading, downspouts, soil conditions, and surrounding properties—because water often travels beyond property lines. By identifying where water is coming from and where it naturally wants to go, we uncover the true source of the problem, whether it’s roof runoff, neighboring runoff, high water tables, compacted soil, or a combination of factors.
Step 2: Custom Design & Approval
We create a detailed outdoor drainage solutions plan based on your specific situation. French drains, downspout extensions, channel drains, or underground PVC systems, we select the right combination for your property and walk you through the design before any work begins.
Step 3: Utility Locates & Safety Planning
All underground utilities are identified to ensure safe installation. We don’t take chances with gas lines or electric.
Step 4: Professional Installation
Our team installs with precision: proper depth, correct pitch, and clean work. We use hand-digging or machinery, depending on what’s best for your property. Our priority is perfect installation, not finishing fast.
Step 5: Final Walkthrough
We review the system with you and ensure everything operates exactly as intended. We don’t consider the job done until you’re satisfied.
The Green Turf team takes no shortcuts, especially underground, where most problems originate. Our crews bring decades of combined experience and make real-time adjustments when unexpected conditions arise.
Schedule a Site EvaluationBest-in-Class Drainage Components
The quality of your outdoor drainage system depends heavily on the components used. Not every product on the market is designed to thrive underground.
We select best-in-class products from trusted manufacturers such as ADS and NDS to ensure durability and long-term performance. Our systems include:
Perforated and solid PVC pipe in appropriate grades
High-quality gravel that drains, not packs
Durable catch basins and channel drains
Properly sized dry wells and pop-up emitters
We don’t use thin-wall pipe that crushes under soil pressure or fittings that crack after one freeze-thaw cycle. Because when work goes underground, there’s no easy way to go back and fix it later.
Outdoor Drainage Solutions We Offer
French Drains
A trench filled with perforated pipe and gravel that captures water from saturated soil and channels it away. Ideal for persistently soggy yards and basement seepage.
Downspout Drainage
Your gutters collect thousands of gallons of water from your roof. Downspout drainage systems capture that water and carry it into a dry well, drainage pipe, or rain barrel.
Sump Pump Extensions
If your sump pump discharges directly outside your foundation wall, you’re recycling the same water. Extensions carry water far enough away that it stays gone.
Channel Drains
Surface-level systems designed for driveways, patios, and walkways. They capture water before it can pool and direct it into underground pipes.
Underground Drainage Systems
For properties with significant water volume, these are the workhorses of professional drainage services, engineered to efficiently move large amounts of water.
Drainage Installation Service & System Repair
Not every customer needs a new yard drainage system. Many simply need expert help fixing or improving what they already have.
Green Turf provides professional drainage repair services for all types of systems. Even if your system was installed decades ago, we can help.
We handle:
- Drains that no longer move water
- Clogged or crushed pipes
- Downspout connections that have failed
- Erosion around drain outlets
- Cleaning catch basins and channel drains
- Systems that were never properly finished
Our technicians have over 20 years of experience. Our service vehicles are fully stocked. In most cases, we complete the diagnosis and repair in a single visit.

Why Typical Yard Drainage Systems Fail
Poor design
Without proper evaluation, you’re just guessing where to dig.
Cheap materials
Thin-wall pipe that crushes. Gravel that packs. Fittings that crack.
No slope planning
If pipe isn’t pitched correctly, water sits inside.
Temporary fixes
Splash blocks and shallow trenches treat symptoms, not causes
No follow-through
No testing. No adjustments. No guarantee
When yard drainage systems fail, it’s rarely bad luck. It’s poor work.
