Move water away.
Protect what matters.
Site-specific drainage for homes, yards, patios and multifamily properties—designed to manage runoff before the next heavy storm.
Prepare before the rain
Prepare your property before the next heavy storm.
Standing water, saturated planting beds and roof runoff can expose drainage problems quickly. A site assessment now gives you time to correct weak points before the wettest days arrive.
Seasonal conditions vary. Drainage recommendations are based on an on-site evaluation of your property.

Six ways we control runoff
We trace where the water starts, where it collects and where it can discharge safely—then combine the right methods into one practical system.
French drains
Perforated pipe in a gravel trench intercepts subsurface water along foundations, slopes and soggy planting areas.
Learn more → 02Catch basins & solid pipe
Surface inlets collect concentrated runoff and carry it through solid piping to an appropriate discharge point.
Learn more → 03Channel drains
Linear drains protect garages, patios, walkways and hardscape where water crosses a wide edge.
Learn more → 04Swales & grading
Careful shaping creates a shallow path that slows and redirects water while keeping the landscape natural.
Learn more → 05Dry creek beds
A decorative stone channel handles runoff while becoming an intentional feature of the garden.
Learn more → 06Rainwater collection
Downspout routing and storage tanks capture usable rainwater and reduce uncontrolled roof discharge.

Follow the water.
Fix the cause.
Good drainage is more than adding pipe. We look at elevation, soil, roof runoff, hardscape and neighboring flow so each part of the system has a purpose.

Planning ranges
What drainage work may cost
Every property is different. These preliminary ranges help with planning; your written estimate will reflect access, excavation, length, depth, materials and discharge requirements.
*Conceptual planning ranges, not quotes. Permit, engineering, utility conflicts, difficult access and disposal may affect pricing.
Drainage questions
Frequently asked questions
What is the best drainage system for a flooded yard?
It depends on whether the water is moving across the surface or saturating the soil. Catch basins and solid pipe collect surface runoff, while French drains address water moving through wet soil. Many properties need a combination.
Can you install a French drain near my house?
Yes, when site conditions allow. We evaluate foundation proximity, trench depth, slope, utilities and the final discharge location before recommending installation.
Do you provide drainage estimates in Redondo Beach?
Yes. South Bay Garden Care provides on-site drainage assessments and written project estimates for Redondo Beach and surrounding South Bay communities.
Can drainage be added without ruining the landscaping?
Often, yes. We plan access and restoration carefully, and options such as planted swales and dry creek beds can become intentional landscape features.
