Trenching And Drainage Built For Humboldt Weather

Humboldt County soil and weather bring unique challenges. Coastal rain, clay heavy zones, tree roots, and hillside slopes can all create standing water, erosion, and foundation issues. As a local grading and drainage contractor, we design systems that move water away from your structures and help protect your property long term.

  • Trenching for electrical, water, and sewer service lines
  • French drains and curtain drains for soggy yards
  • Downspout extensions and tightline drainage to safe outlets
  • Swales and contour grading that redirect surface water
  • Perimeter drainage that helps reduce moisture at foundations
