Landscape Grading & Drainage Burbank, CA

Professional landscape grading and drainage solutions in Los Angeles protecting your property from water damage.

Local Landscape Grading & Drainage Expertise

In Los Angeles, proper grading and drainage protect your property from water damage, erosion, and foundation issues. We design and install landscape grading and drainage systems that direct water safely away from structures. Whether you're dealing with poor drainage, pooling water, or slope challenges, we solve it with precision.

How We Work

We follow a clear, transparent process to assess your drainage challenges, design a custom solution, and execute the work with precision.

1

Site Assessment

We evaluate your property's current drainage patterns, soil composition, and water flow issues. We identify where water pools and how it affects your landscape.

2

Custom Design

We design a grading and drainage plan tailored to your lot. This may include French drains, swales, re-grading, or retention areas.

3

Installation & Grading

Our crew performs precise excavation, grading, and drainage system installation. We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your property.

4

Testing & Verification

We test the drainage system under actual water flow conditions. If adjustments are needed, we make them right away.

You'll always know what's happening next—and when.

Proper Grading Prevents Foundation Damage

Water pooling near your foundation invites settling and cracks. We re-grade your property to slope water away from your home's base.

Los Angeles homes sit on varied soil types. Some areas near the foothills retain water; coastal flatlands may have poor natural drainage. We assess your exact soil and elevation to design a system that works year-round.

French Drains & Swales Move Water Safely

A well-designed French drain system captures subsurface water and channels it away from problem areas. Swales and trenches direct surface runoff to safe outlets.

In properties across Silver Lake and Los Feliz, we've installed drainage solutions that eliminate standing water during heavy rains. These systems blend naturally into your landscape while protecting your soil and hardscape.

Our Services

Beyond grading and drainage, we design and install complete landscape systems that work together.

Professional irrigation installation for water-efficient landscapes in LA.

An efficient irrigation system keeps your landscape healthy while respecting Los Angeles' water conservation goals. We design systems tailored to your plant types and sun exposure.

Smart controllers and drip irrigation reduce waste and lower your water bill. We work in neighborhoods across Pasadena and Glendale with systems that thrive in Southern California heat.

Garden Design & Planting

Native and drought-tolerant plants thrive in Los Angeles. We select plants that require less water, resist pests, and provide year-round color and texture.

Our teams have planted tens of thousands of specimens across LA neighborhoods. We know which species suit Santa Monica's coastal climate versus Brentwood's hillside conditions.

Outdoor Lighting Installation

LED outdoor lighting transforms landscapes for evening enjoyment and safety.

Outdoor lighting extends your living space and adds security. We design low-voltage LED systems that highlight plants, walkways, and hardscape features.

Energy-efficient fixtures reduce your power use. Whether you're in Long Beach or the Hollywood Hills, we install systems that enhance your property's nighttime appeal.

Why It Matters

Poor drainage costs money and invites property damage. The right grading and drainage system protects your investment.

Water Damage Is Expensive

Foundation cracks, basement seepage, and soil erosion all start with poor drainage. Fixing these issues after the fact costs far more than installing proper grading upfront.

Water pooling near your home isn't just unsightly—it invites termites, mold, and structural damage over time.

We Stand Behind Our Work

Our landscape designers and installation teams have years of experience solving drainage problems across Los Angeles' diverse terrain and climate zones.

We use industry-standard materials and proven techniques. Every project is inspected for quality before we consider it complete. Your drainage system should work reliably for decades.

Serving Los Angeles and Surrounding Areas

We work across Los Angeles, from coastal neighborhoods to hillside properties and inland communities.

Neighborhoods We Serve

Our landscape design and drainage work covers the entire Los Angeles area: West LA, Santa Monica, Brentwood, Beverly Hills, Calabasas, Hollywood, Silver Lake, Los Feliz, Pasadena, Long Beach, Torrance, and many others.

Each neighborhood has unique drainage challenges. Hillside properties face erosion and runoff. Flat coastal areas often have poor natural drainage. We understand these differences and design solutions accordingly.

Local Climate & Soil Knowledge

Los Angeles' Mediterranean climate and varied soil types require specialized grading and drainage expertise. We know how local soils absorb and shed water.

Heavy winter rains test drainage systems. Our designs account for seasonal patterns so your property stays protected year-round, whether you're near the coast or inland.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about landscape grading and drainage in Los Angeles.

What is landscape grading and why do I need it?

Landscape grading shapes the land to direct water away from structures and prevent pooling. Without proper grading, water collects near foundations and causes damage.

How long does a drainage installation take?

Typical drainage projects take 2–10 days depending on size and complexity. We provide a timeline before work starts.

Will grading and drainage work disrupt my landscaping?

Some disruption is normal during installation. We work efficiently to minimize impact and restore your landscaping after the system is complete.

What's the difference between a French drain and a swale?

A French drain is subsurface pipe and gravel that captures water below ground. A swale is a shallow, vegetated channel that moves surface water across your yard.

Do you design and install irrigation systems too?

Yes. We design drip and sprinkler systems that work with your grading and drainage. Smart controllers help you conserve water while keeping plants healthy.
