Surface Drains in Middlesex County, MA

Surface drains are an effective solution for managing water runoff on your property, preventing water from accumulating in yards, driveways, and pathways. They capture excess rainwater and direct it to a safe drainage area, protecting your landscape, foundation, and other critical structures from water damage. If you're experiencing water pooling or erosion in low-lying areas, a surface drainage system may be the ideal solution.

What Are Surface Drains and How Do They Work?

Surface drains, also known as drainage grates or catch basins, are designed to capture water from the surface and direct it into an underground drainage system. These systems consist of grates or openings that collect water, which then flows into pipes that channel the water away from your property. Surface drains are typically placed in areas where water naturally collects, such as near driveways, walkways, patios, or around the foundation of your home.

Benefits of Installing Surface Drains

  • Prevents Water Pooling: Surface drains eliminate standing water in your yard, driveway, or around your foundation, preventing flooding and water damage.

  • Protects Landscaping: By directing water away from landscaped areas, surface drains help prevent erosion and protect the health of your plants, lawn, and garden beds.

  • Improves Property Value: A properly installed surface drainage system enhances your property’s overall appeal and functionality by managing water efficiently, reducing potential maintenance costs, and keeping your landscape in top condition.

  • Versatile and Customizable: Surface drains can be integrated into a variety of landscape designs, from residential homes to commercial properties, providing a flexible solution for any water management need.

Testimonial: My driveway needed serious attention as all the heavy rain over the past several months created ditches at the curve and steep incline of my driveway. Chance of Hartwell Site Solutions came right over to assess the washout on both sides of my driveway and came up with a plan to protect the asphalt (which is only two years old from possible damage from further heavy rain events). Trenches were dug and Rip Rap was spread throughout each trench. This project was complete in two days and in the rain!! Chance followed up with me after a couple more rain events to see how the Rip Rap held up. I reported that there was no further washout.
From beginning to end, a very positive experience with Chance and his team on this project.
I highly recommend Hartwell Site Solutions for your landscaping needs!
