Proper drainage and grading direct water away from your foundation, patios, and planting beds before it causes damage. Grading establishes the slope that moves surface water off the property, while drainage systems handle what slope alone cannot, including water that collects in low spots or comes off roof and hardscape surfaces all at once. Getting this wrong shows up as standing water, eroded beds, settling hardscape, and moisture against the house. Flora plans drainage and grading early, since it determines whether everything built on top of it holds up.

Flora assesses standing water and drainage problems and designs a solution based on where the water originates and where it needs to go. That assessment looks at existing grade, roof and gutter discharge points, how neighboring properties drain toward yours, and whether the problem is surface water or saturation that lingers after rain. The fix is coordinated with the surrounding landscape, so a corrected grade works with the patios and plantings rather than against them.
