Drainage & Grading Questions
Can downspout runoff be redirected?
Yes. Depending on the property, downspout drainage can be extended or connected to an appropriate drainage route to move roof runoff away from problem areas.
Will drainage installation disturb the lawn?
Some drainage projects require trenching or grading, so temporary lawn disturbance may occur. Restoration options depend on the work area and project scope.
