Water always finds a way. Good drainage decides where it goes, before it pools in the yard or sits against your foundation.
Stonewell designs and installs residential drainage systems throughout Wichita and surrounding communities. Because we work with water every day, drainage is a natural fit: the same thinking that goes into a good sprinkler layout goes into moving storm water off your property.
Every drainage job starts by watching how water actually moves across the yard: where it comes off the roof, where it collects, and where it can safely go. Then we recommend the simplest fix that solves it, whether that's a downspout tie-in, a catch basin, a french drain, or regrading a low area.
We look at the roof, downspouts, grade, and soil to see where the water comes from and where it collects.
French drains, catch basins, buried downspout extensions, and grading move water to a safe outlet.
We backfill, re-sod or re-bed the disturbed areas, and leave the yard clean and finished.
Heavy spring storms and soil that drains slowly can leave Wichita-area yards waterlogged for days. Here's how we diagnose drainage problems and what goes into fixing them.
Common signs include puddles that linger long after rain, soggy or spongy turf, water collecting near the foundation, mulch and soil washing out of beds, dead patches in low areas, and moss or mildew where the ground stays wet.
Left alone, poor drainage can damage lawns and plantings, wear down hardscape, and send water toward your home. The sooner it's addressed, the simpler the fix tends to be.
A french drain collects water below the surface through perforated pipe surrounded by gravel and carries it to a safe outlet. Catch basins collect surface water at low points and send it into a buried line.
Used together, they handle both the water you can see pooling and the water soaking the ground underneath.
Roof runoff is one of the biggest sources of yard water. Burying downspout extensions and tying them into a drain line carries that water away from the foundation and keeps it from flooding beds or eroding the yard.
Sometimes the fix is in the shape of the ground itself. Regrading low spots and correcting areas that slope toward the house helps water move away naturally. When grading disturbs the lawn, we restore it with sod so the yard is finished when we leave.

A french drain is a trench with perforated pipe and gravel that collects water below the surface and carries it away to a safe outlet. It's one of the most effective fixes for soggy areas and runoff.
Yes. Burying downspout extensions to carry roof water away from the house is one of the simplest ways to protect your foundation and keep beds from washing out.
Sometimes. Overwatering, leaks, or heads spraying the wrong areas can make drainage issues worse. Because we do both, we can check the irrigation and the drainage at the same time.
It depends on the length of the drain, the depth, the outlet, and site conditions. We'll look at the yard and give you a clear, itemized estimate.
Drain lines carry water to a safe outlet, such as a lower part of the property or a pop-up emitter that releases it away from the home. We'll recommend the right outlet for your yard.
