Drainage and Grading
Landscape Solutions has designed and installed landscape drainage systems in NJ for nearly 40 years, providing reliable grading services that are ideal for the needs and requirements of your residential or commercial property. Our drainage systems are installed to control the amount of water flow into your landscapes, gardens, lawns, and basement or foundation, offering an effective grading solution in NJ and long-term drainage repair support for properties across New Jersey.
The Right Amount of Water is Key
Effective drainage starts with understanding how water moves across your property. We provide three types of drainage solutions—stormwater runoff management, surface drainage, and subsurface drainage—to address different water issues. After evaluating your property’s grading, soil, and drainage patterns, we recommend the right solution to protect your landscape and keep excess water away from your home.
Stormwater Runoff
Proper drainage plays an essential role in protecting landscapes and surrounding environments from the effects of stormwater runoff. When excess water is not properly managed, it can wear away soil, damage plantings, and carry sediment and pollutants into nearby waterways, ultimately affecting both property stability and water quality.
By working with an experienced outdoor drainage contractor, property owners can implement systems designed to manage water efficiently. These solutions may allow runoff to absorb naturally into the soil, redirect water toward areas that benefit from additional moisture, or temporarily collect it for controlled release.
Water is essential for healthy lawns and gardens, but too much can quickly lead to root damage, standing water, and landscape deterioration. Professional lawn drainage solutions help regulate moisture levels so your landscape receives the right balance of water while preventing flooding, soil erosion, and plant stress.
Proper grading installation and thoughtful drainage planning help control how water moves across your property. Skilled grading contractors understand how to shape the land to create the correct slope and drainage pathways, promoting healthier plant growth while protecting your home, landscape, and outdoor living spaces.
Surface Drainage
Surface drainage collects water from the surface and redirects it elsewhere. This drainage system typically collects rainwater before it has a chance to enter stormwater systems or pollute waterways.
Surface drainage requires some type of channel or ditch by re-shaping and grading the surface of the land to eliminate puddling and long-term saturation of the lawn or gardens.
The requirements for surface drainage vary depending on topography, soil, the amount and type of foliage, and the climate.
Careful planning and design are essential in a yard drainage installation in NJ to ensure proper water management for homes throughout Union, Essex, and Somerset counties and beyond.
Subsurface Drainage
A subsurface drainage system is installed beneath the soil surface and is typically used for landscapes, gardens, and behind retaining walls.
Pipes covered in geotextile fabric are designed to collect and move excess water away.
Creating a subsurface drainage system requires the planning and installation of an expert backyard drainage contractor. When they are well-planned and constructed with high-quality materials, they will function well for a long time.
The type of subsurface drainage is determined by the topography, the soil, and the number of trees within proximity to the area to determine the best landscape drainage solution for your property, whether you’re in Westfield, Summit, Madison, elsewhere in Union and Essex counties, or anywhere else in New Jersey.

Drainage & Grading Projects Across NJ
“Landscape Solutions did extensive landscaping at our property including drainage so that both rainwater front and back and effluent from 2 sump pumps was shuttled to the street, installation of rock retaining walls, construction of a large backyard pond with waterfall, lighting front, side, and back, movement of prior plants and trees as well as installation of new ones around the pond, newly already present. Previously we had hired this company to till and grade the rear property following construction of a porch and expanded deck.
Throughout this process Landscape Solutions worked closely with us on the execution of various designs and architectural plans. The principal at Landscape Solutions, Bill Schau was prompt in responding to inquiries both by phone and by email and providing suggestions to resolve any issues arising and suggesting vendors for other services. He worked closely with his crew, and they were all very professional, neat, and thorough. We recommend them most highly.”
