French drains and yard drainage that move water where it belongs

Standing water, soggy spots and runoff toward the house, fixed with drainage built for your yard.

If your lawn stays mushy days after it rains, water pools by the foundation, or runoff washes out your beds, the yard needs a better path for water. We look at how water moves across your property and put in the fix that fits.

Most jobs are a French drain: a gravel-lined trench with perforated pipe that collects water and carries it away. We dig, install and backfill, then restore the lawn or beds on top.

What's included

  • French drain installation
  • Fixing low spots and standing water
  • Moving runoff away from the house
  • Drainage for downspouts and wet corners
  • Restoring the lawn and beds after the work

We serve homeowners and businesses in Havertown, Aston, Chester and across Delaware County, PA, plus Wilmington, DE.

What our customers say

I found Dvel Landscaping to be very professional. Victor did everything we talked about during the estimate, and then some. He worked every minute of the time he was here, and I would certainly recommend Dvel Landscaping to anyone looking for a great job at a fair price.

French Drains & Yard Drainage questions

How do I know if I need a French drain?

Common signs are puddles that sit for days, a lawn that stays soggy, water collecting against the house, or soil washing out of beds. Send us a photo or call and we'll take a look.

Will my yard be torn up?

There's digging involved, but we keep it to the trench line, clean up when we're done, and restore the surface.
