Yard Drain Installation

Move water away from where it shouldn't be.

Move water away from where it shouldn't be.

Standing water in the yard means water against the foundation, dead grass, and mosquitoes you can't get rid of. We diagnose where the water is actually coming from and design drainage that moves it somewhere it can't cause damage.

Yard drains, catch basins, downspout extensions, and pop-up emitters are all part of the toolkit. We trench, lay rigid pipe (not flimsy corrugated where it matters), and tie it into a discharge point that won't back up.

Common in West Michigan because of our clay soils — and we install them right.

What's Included

Every yard drains project from Bernal Landscape Management includes the following as standard.

  • Catch basins and surface drains
  • Downspout extensions and tie-ins
  • Rigid SDR pipe (not just corrugated)
  • Pop-up emitters at discharge points
  • Re-grading to direct surface flow
  • Seamless lawn restoration after install

Frequently Asked

Why does my West Michigan yard have standing water?

Standing water is common in West Michigan because of our heavy clay soils. Water pools against foundations, kills grass, and breeds mosquitoes. We diagnose where the water is coming from and design drainage that moves it to a proper discharge point.

What type of pipe does Bernal Landscape use for yard drains?

We use rigid SDR pipe — not flimsy corrugated pipe — where it counts. Our installations include catch basins, downspout extensions, and pop-up emitters at discharge points.

Will my lawn be restored after a drain installation?

Yes. Every drain installation includes seamless lawn restoration. We re-grade the surface and restore turf so the drain system is invisible once the job is complete.
