When it comes to creating a healthy and long-lasting landscape, grading and drainage are often overlooked—but they’re absolutely critical. Whether you live along the coast in Avila Beach or further inland in Paso Robles, proper water flow management protects your property and enhances the long-term health of your landscape.
What Is Grading and Why Is It Important?
Grading refers to shaping the ground surface to control water runoff. Good grading ensures water flows away from your home, not toward it. Without proper grading, even the most beautiful yard can suffer from:
- Pooling water and flooding
- Soil erosion and landscape damage
- Foundation issues and structural concerns
- Standing water that attracts pests
Whether you’re installing a new lawn, patio, or garden bed, starting with the right slope is essential.
Effective Drainage Solutions for the Central Coast
Alongside grading, smart drainage systems are necessary to move water safely off your property. Solutions we design and install include:
- French drains for subsurface water control
- Dry creek beds for aesthetic and functional runoff handling
- Channel drains and swales to redirect water flow
- Permeable pavers that reduce runoff and erosion
All of our drainage systems are custom-designed to fit your property’s soil type, slope, and climate conditions.
