If your yard floods every time it rains, the lawn stays soggy for days, or water collects against the building, Goats Landscaping can move that water where it belongs. We find where it is coming from, then fix it with French drains, perforated drain pipe, catch basins, downspout extensions and regrading, for condo, townhouse and commercial properties across Vaughan, Markham and the GTA.
Condo, townhouse and commercial properties where pooling water turns walkways and lawns into a mess or an icy hazard.
Drainage work can be done any time the ground is not frozen, from spring to late fall. The best time to find the problem is right after heavy rain or snowmelt, so take photos of where the water sits and send them with your quote request. A common rule of thumb is for the ground to drop about 15 cm over the first 3 metres away from the building. If water is already coming through the basement walls, you may also need a foundation waterproofing contractor, and we will tell you honestly if that is the case.
Call (647) 490-3162 or send the quote form. Photos of the job help us price it faster.
We look at the property and give you a straightforward price, with no obligation and no pressure.
Our crew shows up on scheduled days, does the job right and leaves the property clean.
Usually it is one or more of: the ground slopes toward the building or into a low spot, downspouts empty too close to the building, or heavy clay soil that GTA yards often have does not let water soak in fast enough. The fix depends on which one it is, which is why we look first.
A French drain is a trench filled with gravel around a perforated pipe. Water in the soil drains into the gravel, enters the pipe and is carried away to a safe spot, so a wet area of the yard dries out.
Away from the building, onto ground that slopes away, typically at least 1.5 to 2 metres from the foundation, and never onto a neighbour's property or a walkway that will ice over. Extensions can run above ground or be buried.
It depends on the cause and the fix: a downspout extension is a small job, while a French drain or regrading depends on its length, depth and access. We look at the yard and give you a free quote.
