I called Matt at Razor Sharp Landscaping to consult on a drainage issue I had in my backyard. He gave me a couple of options, and I decided to go with landscaping the area with flowering bushes and plants, river rocks and small boulders. His quote was timely, included a sketch and plant recommendations at a reasonable cost. He and his staff arrived on time, on the day expected and completed the work very quickly. I am very happy with the results and definitely recommend them!
Matt and his crew put in a French drain for me; I had a standing water issue for several years. They did an exceptional job of not only trenching for the pipe but cleanup and laying of sod where the existing grass had been devastated by my drainage problems.

Why Drainage Problems Are a Big Deal
Poor drainage doesn’t just look bad. It can lead to:
-
- Lawn and garden flooding
- Erosion on slopes or bare patches
- Damage to patios, retaining walls, and walkways
- Foundation cracks and structural issues
Ignoring the signs can cost you thousands down the road. The sooner you fix it, the better.
Signs You May Need a Drainage Solution
Not sure if you need help? Look out for these warning signs:
-
- Water pooling in low areas
- Soggy or soft spots in the yard
- Erosion after heavy rain
- Water stains or wetness near your home’s foundation
- Driveway or patio flooding during storms
If any of these sound familiar, it’s time to call in the pros.

Fixing the cause is just as important as fixing the symptoms. We’ll make sure your system actually works, not just looks good.
