Drainage Solutions for Birmingham and Central Alabama
Standing water, erosion, wet lawns, and runoff near a foundation are signs that water is not moving properly across the property.
Greenscape Management installs and repairs French drains, catch basins, underground drainage pipe, downspout connections, grading, and erosion-control solutions throughout the Birmingham metro area.
We evaluate where the water comes from, where it collects, and where it can be safely redirected before recommending a solution.
Drainage Problems We Solve
Water Near Foundations
Redirect roof runoff and surface water away from foundations, crawlspaces, basements, and retaining walls.
Standing Water
Collect and redirect water that leaves lawns, planting beds, driveways, and outdoor areas wet or unusable.
Poor Grading and Runoff
Improve how water moves across sloped or uneven properties using grading, swales, drains, and underground pipe.
Erosion Control
Slow and redirect runoff that washes away soil, mulch, grass, planting areas, and sloped sections of the property.

What Affects Drainage Project Cost?
Drainage pricing depends on the source of the water, property slope, system length and depth, excavation conditions, access, number of collection points, discharge location, and landscape restoration.
We inspect the property before recommending work so the quote is based on the actual drainage problem rather than a generic price per foot.
Our Process
- Identify where the water originates.
- Evaluate slopes, low areas, and existing drainage.
- Determine a safe collection and discharge route.
- Recommend the appropriate drainage solution.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a French drain?
A French drain uses perforated pipe and gravel to collect water moving through saturated soil and redirect it to an appropriate outlet.
Do I need a French drain or a catch basin?
French drains generally manage water in the soil. Catch basins collect visible surface water. Some properties require both.
Why does my yard stay wet after rain?
Common causes include low areas, compacted soil, poor grading, roof runoff, blocked drainage, groundwater, or runoff from higher property.
