The Grading and Drainage Designer
Tilt a yard toward or away from the house, add a French drain, a swale, a catch basin or a downspout line, then run a storm and watch the water move. See whether it drains, pools or reaches the foundation.

See Where the Water Goes
A simplified planning model, not a drainage design. Real water flow depends on soil, slope, roof area and rainfall, and we confirm the plan on your site.
Planning aids only, not engineering, survey, soil or permit advice. Nothing you enter is sent anywhere until you choose to send it to us.
How It Works
Four Quick Steps
Step 1
Set the slope and the soil.
Step 2
Add drains, a swale or a downspout line.
Step 3
Run a storm and watch the water.
Step 4
Send your plan to us.
