The Benefits of Professional Drainage Solutions

Protect your property, enhance its beauty, and create a healthier outdoor environment with MLC's drainage solutions.

Prevent Water Damage

Excess water can wreak havoc on your landscape, leading to soil erosion, plant diseases, and foundation damage. Our drainage solutions effectively manage water runoff, preventing these costly problems and preserving the beauty of your outdoor space. We help you protect your investment by preventing water from pooling around your home's foundation, which can lead to structural issues over time. Addressing drainage issues is crucial for maintaining a healthy and vibrant lawn. Our solutions prevent waterlogged soil, ensuring that your grass receives the proper nutrients and oxygen it needs to thrive. This results in a lush, green lawn that enhances the overall appearance of your property.

Enhance Outdoor Comfort & Safety

Standing water can create a breeding ground for mosquitoes and other pests, making your outdoor spaces less enjoyable. Our drainage solutions eliminate these breeding grounds, creating a more comfortable and pest-free environment for you and your family. Proper drainage also reduces the risk of slips and falls caused by wet or icy surfaces. This is especially important for walkways, patios, and driveways. With effective water management, you can enjoy your outdoor spaces with greater peace of mind, knowing that your property is safe and secure. Protects against stormwater runoff and keeps your outdoor spaces clear for your friends, family and pets.

Beautify Your Landscape

Our drainage solutions are designed to seamlessly integrate with your existing landscape, enhancing its beauty and functionality. We offer a variety of solutions to meet your specific needs and aesthetic preferences, from discreet French drains to decorative rain gardens. Our custom designs prevent standing water, erosion, and other water-related issues, creating a healthier and more sustainable landscape. A well-drained landscape also promotes healthy plant growth, ensuring that your trees, shrubs, and flowers thrive. We can help you create a vibrant and thriving outdoor space that enhances the value and appeal of your property. We can help with landscaping for new construction or renovation projects, as well as weed control and pest management.

MLC uses a proven process to solve drainage problems. We start with a site assessment and create a custom plan.

Our team installs the solution using quality materials, followed by a final inspection for your satisfaction.

Let's Get Started!

01

Site Assessment

Our experts conduct a thorough evaluation of your property to identify drainage issues, assess soil composition, and analyze water flow patterns. We consider factors such as the Loess Hills topography and existing landscape features to develop a comprehensive understanding of your drainage needs.

02

Customized Plan

Based on the assessment, we create a customized drainage plan that addresses your specific challenges and goals. We present you with a detailed proposal outlining the recommended solutions, including French drains, surface grading, and downspout extensions. We use our understanding of Hardiness Zone 5a to ensure your landscape thrives.

03

Professional Installation

Our experienced crew executes the drainage plan with precision and care, using high-quality materials and proven techniques. We minimize disruption to your existing landscape and ensure proper grading and water flow. We are familiar with B-lawn areas and can tailor our approach to work in the unique characteristics of those areas.

04

Final Inspection & Follow-Up

After installation, we conduct a thorough inspection to ensure the drainage system is functioning optimally. We provide you with detailed instructions on maintenance and offer ongoing support to address any questions or concerns. During the spring thaw, we can assess any winter damage and ensure everything is working as it should.
