PROPERTY DRAINAGE

River-rock French drain swale collecting driveway runoff to protect the adjacent yard from erosion.

PROPERTY DRAINAGE & GRADING

Drainage that moves water away.

Pooling water, soggy ground and washed-out gravel start with how water moves through the property. CCG provides property drainage and grading around Carnarvon, Halls Lake, Kushog Lake and the surrounding Algonquin Highlands.

START WITH THE CAUSE

Good drainage starts with the ground.

Water collecting in one spot can begin further uphill. We look at the slope, surrounding ground and existing drainage to understand where the water comes from and where it can go.

The work may involve correcting grades, shaping a swale or restoring a drainage path. The aim is to address the cause without simply moving the problem elsewhere on the property.

PLANNED AROUND THE PROPERTY

Drainage that fits your property.

01 · WATER FLOW

A suitable path for water

We consider slopes, access and surrounding ground before choosing the work. Grading and drainage need to work together, with a suitable place for the collected water to go.

• Scope based on site conditions

02 · PROPERTY FINISH

Keep the surrounding yard usable

The work should protect more than the wet spot. We consider driveway edges, usable yard space and the finish around the drainage work, so the solution belongs on the property.

• Practical work with a considered finish

Property Grading & Drainage Correction

Correcting the slope of the ground can help address pooling water, driveway runoff and recurring washouts. CCG provides defined grading and excavation work to guide surface water along a suitable path, with attention to access and the surrounding property.

FRENCH DRAINS & SWALES

French Drains & Drainage Swales

French drains and shaped swales collect and guide water where site conditions suit. The river-rock French drain swale shown above collects driveway runoff before it erodes the yard, combining practical drainage with a finish that fits the property.

CULVERTS & ACCESS DRAINAGE

Culvert Installation & Replacement

Culverts carry water beneath driveways and access crossings. CCG installs and replaces culverts for suitable drainage and access projects, considering the surrounding ditch, grades and outlet. Any applicable entrance or road requirements are checked before work proceeds.

LOOKING AFTER THE WHOLE PROPERTY

Better water flow. A more usable property.

Good drainage helps protect the yard, driveway and work already invested in the property. We look at how those areas connect and recommend a practical scope suited to the ground, rather than treating the wet spot in isolation.
