Reliable Drainage Solutions That Last
We stop standing water, protect your landscape, and create a cleaner, safer yard with smart drainage design.
Drainage Solutions
At Cutting Edge Lawn Solutions, we solve drainage problems before they turn into expensive damage. If water is pooling in your yard, running toward your foundation, washing out mulch beds, or leaving soggy spots that never dry out, we can help. Our drainage solutions are built to move water away from the areas where it causes trouble and protect the health, safety, and appearance of your property.
We start by looking at the full layout of your landscape. That includes the slope of the yard, roof runoff, downspout discharge, low spots, soil conditions, and how water moves during and after rain. This helps us find the real cause of the issue, not just the symptom. From there, we recommend the right fix based on your property and goals.
Our drainage services may include French drains, catch basins, downspout extensions, channel drains, grading and re-sloping, dry creek beds, swales, and drainage pipe installation. In some cases, we combine several methods for better long-term performance. We also make sure new drainage work fits with the rest of your landscaping, hardscaping, sod, and planting beds so the finished result looks clean and intentional.
Good drainage does more than remove standing water. It helps prevent erosion, foundation moisture issues, landscape damage, muddy areas, turf decline, and slippery surfaces. For commercial properties, it can also improve site safety and reduce wear on outdoor spaces that see regular foot traffic.
We use quality materials and practical installation methods that are made to last. Our team focuses on solutions that work with the land, support healthy water flow, and hold up through changing weather. Because we serve both homes and commercial properties in Clay County, MO, we understand the local conditions that can affect drainage performance.
If your yard stays wet, your beds keep washing out, or rainwater is causing problems around your property, let us take a look. We will build a drainage plan that protects your investment and improves the way your landscape functions year-round. Contact Cutting Edge Lawn Solutions today to schedule your drainage consultation.
Our Drainage Solutions Process
We make drainage problems simple to fix with a clear plan, skilled installation, and a final walkthrough so you know your yard is protected for the long term.
Site Visit and Drainage Evaluation
We start with an on-site visit to inspect standing water, soggy turf, downspout discharge, grading, and erosion patterns. Then we explain the root cause, recommend the right drainage solution, and provide a clear estimate with a realistic timeline, usually within a few days.
Custom Drainage Plan and Scheduling
Once you approve the work, we map out the system design, materials, and installation sequence for your property. We schedule the project around weather and site conditions, then prepare for French drains, catch basins, swales, or grading corrections with minimal disruption to your lawn and landscape.
Professional Installation and Final Walkthrough
Our crew installs your drainage system using quality materials and proven landscaping methods built for long-term performance. After cleanup, we test water flow, check problem areas, and walk the property with you to make sure everything drains properly and you feel confident in the finished result.

"Retaining wall demo and install. I couldn't be happier with the work that Cillian and the crew from Cutting Edge Lawn Solutions provided.

I received several bids for replacement. I wasn't impressed with the photographs of the work that some companies provided, specifically the ones that were slightly cheaper. The companies who did the quality of work I was looking for were priced significantly higher, so I felt comfortable choosing Cutting Edge for this project. The crew showed up and worked quickly and efficiently, while meeting the quality I was looking for.
