Drainage & Erosion Control
Complete drainage and erosion control services, from yard drainage solutions to soil erosion prevention, built for red clay soil and hillside terrain.
We build lasting drainage solutions that hold up through Tennessee's heavy spring rains.
Our Services
Every property handles water differently, so as your local drainage and erosion control contractor, we start by walking the site and watching where runoff actually goes before recommending a fix. Below are the core drainage and erosion control services we provide across Cleveland, Ocoee, and the surrounding area.
We handle full drainage system installation, including French drains, swales, and culverts, sized correctly for your soil and slope. This is the right starting point for standing water, soggy yards, or a driveway that won't drain.
When soil erosion is pulling ground off a slope or a hillside yard needs structural support, a properly engineered retaining wall stops erosion in place and works alongside your drainage plan.
Our Services
Properties throughout Cleveland, Ocoee, and the surrounding valley towns share a common challenge: water moves fast off the ridges and settles wherever grading lets it. Our drainage installation work addresses that movement at the source, protecting landscape drainage across the whole property instead of just patching where water puddles.
A full drainage and erosion control project might include any combination of the following:
Local terrain and soil conditions
Cleveland and Ocoee sit in a landscape of rolling ridges, valley floors, and dense red clay soil that doesn't absorb water the way sandy or loamy soil does. Instead of soaking in, rain tends to sheet across the surface, creating water runoff management challenges like wet spots, driveway washouts, and slow-draining yards.
Hillside lots around Benton, Georgetown, and the ridges near Ooltewah face an added challenge: gravity. Runoff moves fast downhill, and without a swale or French drain to intercept it, that water carves paths across yards and undercuts driveways and foundations over time.
We've spent years reading how water behaves on this specific terrain, from the flatter stretches near Athens and Dayton to the steeper grades outside Collegedale and Harrison. That local knowledge shapes where we route drainage swales, how deep we dig a French drain, and where a retaining wall needs to go to actually stop erosion instead of just slowing it down.
What neighbors are saying
Standing water, a washed-out driveway, or a yard that stays soggy for days after a storm isn't something you have to live with. Evergreen Excavation & Landscaping will walk your property, explain what's causing the drainage or erosion issue, and lay out drainage solutions built for your soil, slope, and budget.
