Residential drainage and grading services in Central Ohio

French Drains

A French drain is a subsurface drainage solution designed to redirect water away from problem areas on your property. It typically consists of a perforated pipe surrounded by gravel, installed below ground to collect and channel water. French drains are commonly used in yards where water tends to pool or collect near foundations, low spots, or landscape beds.

Downspout Drainage

Downspouts direct water off your roof, but without proper drainage, that water can pool near your foundation or erode the surrounding landscape. Downspout drainage solutions extend or redirect that water away from your home and into a more appropriate discharge area, helping protect your foundation and yard from water-related issues.

Grading

Proper grading ensures that the ground around your home slopes away from the foundation rather than toward it. Poor grading can lead to water collecting near your home's base, which can cause long-term problems. Grading work reshapes the terrain to improve drainage and create a more functional, level surface where needed.

Excavation

Excavation involves moving and removing soil to prepare a site for construction, drainage work, or other improvements. Whether you're adding a patio, installing a drainage system, or preparing a new area of your yard, excavation is often the first step in getting the site ready for the work ahead.

Demolition

Sometimes an existing structure or surface needs to come out before new work can begin. TNT provides demolition services for residential outdoor projects — removing old patios, walkways, retaining walls, or other structures to clear the way for improvements.

Trenching

Trenching involves cutting narrow channels into the ground for drainage pipes, irrigation lines, or other underground installations. It's a common part of drainage and irrigation projects and is done with care to minimize disruption to the surrounding landscape.

Gravel Driveways & Lots

Gravel driveways and parking areas are a practical, cost-effective option for residential properties. TNT can install or refresh gravel surfaces, including proper grading and base preparation to help the surface hold up over time. Gravel is also a useful option for side yards, access paths, and other areas where a durable, permeable surface is needed.
