Drainage & Grading

Expert Drainage & Grading Solutions

Protecting Properties in Woodbury, Rosemount & Stillwater, MN, and Hudson, WI

Water problems don’t wait for convenient timing. Whether you’re dealing with basement flooding, soggy lawns that never dry out, or erosion washing away your landscape investments, drainage issues demand immediate attention. LNG Landscapes has been serving the Twin Cities east side since 2016 with comprehensive drainage and grading solutions that address the root causes of water retention problems across the Twin Cities east side.

From new construction sites that need proper water management from day one to established properties struggling with settling and flooding, our team designs and installs drainage systems that work. We serve residential and commercial clients throughout Woodbury, Rosemount, Stillwater, Lakeville, and Hudson, WI — areas where the topography between Minnesota and Wisconsin creates unique drainage challenges.

The Hidden Costs of Poor Drainage

Standing water isn’t just unsightly — it’s expensive. Properties with drainage problems face a cascade of issues that compound over time. Saturated soil creates the perfect conditions for foundation problems, basement flooding, and structural damage that can cost thousands to repair.

Your landscape suffers too. Waterlogged lawns develop fungal diseases, root rot, and dead patches that require costly restoration. Plants drown, mulch washes away, and erosion carves channels through your carefully planned beds. The River Valley area’s rolling terrain makes these problems particularly challenging, as water naturally seeks the lowest points and can overwhelm unprepared landscapes.

Beyond property damage, poor drainage creates health and safety concerns. Standing water becomes a breeding ground for mosquitoes and other pests, while muddy conditions make outdoor spaces unusable for weeks after each rainfall.

Comprehensive Drainage Solutions That Work

LNG Landscapes offers a complete range of drainage systems designed to handle everything from minor settling issues to major flooding problems. Our approach starts with understanding your property’s unique water flow patterns, soil conditions, and existing infrastructure.

French Drains: Our most popular solution for basement flooding and foundation protection. We install perforated pipes surrounded by graded gravel in strategic locations to intercept groundwater before it reaches your foundation. These systems work invisibly underground and can be integrated with landscape features.

Catch Basins: Perfect for collecting surface water in low-lying areas. These engineered collection points connect to underground piping that carries water away from problem areas. We size and position catch basins based on your property’s specific water volume and flow patterns.

Dry Creek Beds: These attractive drainage features mimic natural waterways while effectively channeling runoff. We design dry creek beds using river rock, limestone, and native plantings that complement your existing landscape while providing excellent water management.

Channel Drains: Ideal for driveways, walkways, and patio areas where surface water needs immediate collection. These linear drainage systems handle high-volume water flow and can be integrated into hardscape projects.

Downspout Extensions and Sump Pump Tie-ins: We connect your home’s existing water management systems to our drainage network, ensuring roof runoff and basement water are properly directed away from your foundation.

Drain Tiles: For properties with chronic groundwater issues, we install comprehensive drain tile systems that create a protective barrier around foundations and other vulnerable areas.

Professional Grading for Long-Term Solutions

Sometimes the best drainage solution is reshaping the land itself. Our grading services address the underlying topographical issues that cause water problems in the first place. We use advanced techniques to survey your property’s elevation and adjust slopes to direct water flow away from structures and toward appropriate collection areas.

Grading work is particularly important for new construction sites, where proper water management must be established before landscaping begins. We also handle settling issues common in our area, where changing soil conditions can create new drainage problems years after initial construction.

Our grading services integrate with other landscape improvements, allowing us to create usable outdoor spaces while solving drainage problems. Whether you’re planning a new patio, expanding lawn areas, or adding garden beds, proper grading ensures these investments remain protected from water damage.
