Hoosier Dirt & Gravel handles surface drainage and erosion control work for property owners across central Indiana. Standing water in the yard, runoff cutting through the lawn, water heading toward buildings instead of away from them. These problems usually trace back to grade issues. Our work addresses the actual cause of the water movement, so the fix holds.
Most surface drainage issues come from grade problems that were either ignored when the property was developed or got worse over time. These are the situations we work on most.
Surface drainage problems get worse season by season. A wet spot this year becomes a foundation problem the next.
Surface drainage work starts with figuring out where the water is actually coming from and where it should be going. The fix follows from there.
Walk the property during or after rain to track water movement
Identify the source: grade issue, runoff path, or downspout location
Regrade and shape the surface to direct water to a proper drainage point
