Drainage Solutions & Waterproofing

Stop Water Problems Before They Damage Your Property

Water goes where gravity takes it—and if your property isn't graded correctly, that means pooling in your yard, flooding your basement, or eroding your landscaping. Drainage problems don't fix themselves. They get worse every time it rains until you're dealing with foundation damage or a yard that's too muddy to use. We install drainage systems that move water away from structures and problem areas so your property stays dry and usable.

We assess where water collects, where it needs to go, and what's stopping it from getting there. Some properties need French drains to intercept groundwater. Others need surface grading, catch basins, or buried downspout extensions. We install perforated pipe in gravel trenches, regrade slopes to redirect flow, and create swales that channel water to safe discharge points. Every drainage project starts with understanding the problem and ends with a system that works when it's actually raining.

Wilmes Lawn Care has solved drainage issues across Maryville and northwest Missouri since 2015. We own excavators and grading equipment to dig trenches, move soil, and install systems efficiently. Call (660) 254-4225 to schedule a site visit during or after rain so we can see exactly where your water goes.

What We Offer:

French Drain Installation – Dig trenches, install perforated pipe in gravel, and redirect groundwater away from foundations and problem areas.
Surface Grading & Resloping – Reshape yard contours to move surface water away from structures instead of toward them.
Catch Basin & Drain Inlet Systems – Install grated drains that collect surface water from low spots and route it to underground piping.
Downspout & Gutter Drainage – Extend downspouts underground to safe discharge points instead of dumping water next to your foundation.
Swale Construction – Create shallow drainage channels that move water across your property without erosion or flooding.
Sump Pump Discharge Lines – Route basement sump discharge away from the house so it doesn't re-enter through foundation walls.
Erosion Control Solutions – Stop soil washout on slopes with drainage systems, retaining walls, and plantings that stabilize hillsides.
