What's included in Portland.
Regrading, swales, French drains, downspout extensions, and catch-basin tie-ins that carry water away from foundations, walks, and parking areas.
Scoped after we watch where the water actually goes, then quoted in writing with the work staged before any hardscape or turf goes back in.
We're a Portland-area regular — most Portland routes are handled by the same crew week after week, so you get consistent quality and a familiar face on the property.

What grading & drainage in Portland actually looks like
We run grading & drainage routes across Portland — West End, East End, Deering Center, North Deering, Rosemont and Riverton — and you'll see our trucks regularly near Back Cove and Eastern Promenade.
Recent Portland job: Corrected a recurring ice sheet at the entrance of an in-town Portland multi-family building by regrading the approach and tying the downspout into the storm line.
Conditions that shape the work: Portland's compacted urban soils absorb almost nothing, and paved coverage sends everything to a handful of structures. Utilities sit close to the surface, so trenching has to be located carefully.
Pricing in Portland: In-town Portland work is quoted after a walk covering utilities, access, parking, and the storm connection, with any required locates and permits stated up front.
