Solving Water Problems at the Source

Standing water in your yard, soggy areas that never seem to dry out, erosion along slopes, and water pooling near your foundation are all signs of drainage problems that will only get worse over time. Left unaddressed, poor drainage damages turf, kills plantings, undermines hardscape structures, and can compromise your home or building's foundation.

Harris & Company has been solving drainage and grading challenges for property owners throughout Middle Georgia for over two decades. Our approach starts with a thorough assessment of your property's topography, soil composition, and water flow patterns. We identify where water is coming from, where it collects, and where it needs to go. Then we design and build the infrastructure to make that happen permanently.

Whether your property needs a simple French drain to redirect surface water, a comprehensive system of catch basins and underground piping, or re-grading to correct improper slope and flow, we have the equipment, expertise, and experience to deliver a lasting solution. Our work protects your landscape, your structures, and your peace of mind.

Drainage & Grading Services

Every water management solution is designed specifically for your property's unique drainage challenges.

French Drains

Subsurface drainage systems that collect and redirect groundwater away from foundations, low spots, and saturated areas. Properly installed French drains eliminate standing water and protect your property from erosion and water damage.

Erosion Control Design

Custom-engineered solutions for slopes, banks, and exposed soils that prevent erosion from stormwater runoff. We use a combination of grading techniques, ground cover plantings, and structural measures to stabilize vulnerable areas.

Culverts & Catch Basins

Strategic placement of culverts and catch basins to manage stormwater flow across your property. These systems channel surface water into underground drainage networks, keeping driveways, walkways, and landscape areas dry.

Flow Wells & Sump Pumps

Installation of flow wells for dispersing collected water into the soil and sump pump systems for actively removing water from low-lying areas, crawl spaces, and basement-level situations.

Trenching & Water Line Work

Precision trenching for drainage pipes, water supply lines, and irrigation infrastructure. We handle both new installations and repairs to existing underground systems with minimal disruption to your landscape.

Light Grading & Track Loader Operations

Finish grading for new construction, re-grading to correct drainage flow, and track loader operations for soil movement, spreading, and site preparation on residential and commercial properties.
