Drainage Solutions in Raleigh, NC
Professional drainage solutions in Raleigh, NC, and across the Triangle. Standing water, foundation runoff, and erosion are common problems for NC homeowners — and ignoring them leads to bigger damage down the line. MC Landscaping & Hardscape designs and installs drainage systems that protect your property, your landscape, and your foundation.
From French drains to regrading to full surface and subsurface solutions, we diagnose the actual cause and fix it — not just the symptom.
Trusted Drainage Solutions in the Raleigh–Durham Area
Raleigh–Durham's clay soil and heavy seasonal rain create persistent drainage challenges. Our team has solved them across the Triangle — from saturated lawns and pooling patios to chronic basement leaks caused by improper grading.
We start with on-site assessment and water flow analysis, then design a solution that addresses the underlying issue — drainage that works, not band-aid fixes.
Our Services
We provide a complete range of drainage solutions, including:
French Drain Installation
Yard Regrading & Slope Correction
Catch Basins & Surface Inlets
Downspout Extensions & Drain Tile
Erosion Control & Stabilization
Every project begins with an on-site assessment where we identify where the water is coming from, where it's going, and where it needs to go instead. Our team then designs and installs a system that solves the problem permanently.
Serving the Raleigh–Durham Area
Based in Fuquay-Varina, we serve homeowners across the Triangle — including Raleigh, Cary, Apex, Holly Springs, Durham, Chapel Hill, Morrisville, Garner, Knightdale, Wake Forest, and Hillsborough. If you've got standing water, foundation runoff, or erosion problems, we can fix it.
Why Choose MC Landscaping
Drainage problems get fixed wrong all the time — pipes pitched the wrong way, French drains that clog within a year, downspouts dumped into the same spot they came from. Oscar personally walks every drainage site, reads the slope, and designs a system that actually moves water where it needs to go. Alexis keeps you in the loop from inspection to completion, and we don't leave drainage projects until they work.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a French drain cost in Raleigh?
A typical residential French drain runs $2,500–$6,000 depending on length, depth, and discharge requirements. Complex installations with multiple inlets or pump systems can run higher.
Why does my yard hold water after rain?
The most common causes in Raleigh are improper grading (yard slopes toward the house instead of away), compacted clay soil that doesn't absorb water, and downspouts dumping near the foundation.
Can drainage problems damage my foundation?
Yes. Persistent water near the foundation causes settling, cracking, and basement seepage. Most foundation problems start as drainage problems — fixing the drainage early is far cheaper than repairing structural damage later.
Do you offer erosion control?
Yes. We install riprap, stone swales, vegetative stabilization, and engineered retaining solutions for slopes and stream banks experiencing erosion. Common in newer developments where builders didn't address grading.
How long does a drainage project take?
Most residential drainage projects take 2–5 days. Larger systems with multiple drains, regrading, or significant excavation can take 1–2 weeks. We give you a clear timeline up front.
