Professional Drainage Solutions in the Oklahoma City Metro Area

Don't Let Water Take Over Your Property

Drainage problems can leave your lawn muddy, cause your landscape to struggle, and make your backyard difficult to enjoy. Elion Landscaping & Tree Service creates customized drainage solutions that help keep your property dry, attractive, and ready to support your lawn, plants, and trees.

Solving Drainage Problems in Central Oklahoma Isn't Always Easy

Central Oklahoma’s heavy rains, clay soils, and varying elevations can make it difficult for water to drain properly from your property. Without the right drainage solution, excess water can damage your lawn, harm your landscape, and limit how you use your outdoor space.

In fact, homeowners throughout the Oklahoma City area often deal with challenges like:

Standing water that lingers after rain.
Soggy or muddy areas that never seem to dry out.
Water collecting near the home’s foundation.
Soil erosion that damages the landscape.
Water flowing across patios, walkways, or driveways.
Landscape plants struggling because of overly wet soil.

Fortunately, a professionally designed drainage system can redirect excess water, protect your property, and help you enjoy a drier, healthier, and more functional landscape.

Professional Drainage Solutions for Every Situation

No two drainage problems are exactly alike. Whether you’re dealing with standing water, erosion, or water collecting near your home’s foundation, Elion Landscaping & Tree Service designs customized drainage solutions that protect your property and help keep your landscape dry and functional.

French Drain Installation

French drains collect and redirect excess subsurface water before it can damage your lawn, landscape, or foundation. They’re an effective solution for many properties with persistent drainage issues.

Catch Basin & Surface Drain Installation

Catch basins and surface drains collect standing water and direct it safely away from your property. They’re commonly used in low spots where water naturally accumulates after heavy rain.

Downspout Drainage Solutions

Improperly placed downspouts can dump water next to your home’s foundation or into landscape beds. We install drainage extensions and drain lines that help move roof runoff away from your property.

Yard Grading & Drainage Improvements

Sometimes the best drainage solutions begin with landscaping changes. Proper grading helps direct water away from structures while reducing erosion and preventing standing water.

Frequently Asked Questions About Drainage System Installation

Drainage problems can affect everything from your lawn and landscaping to your home’s foundation and outdoor living spaces. Below are answers to some of the questions Central Oklahoma homeowners ask most often about the professional drainage solutions we provide.

How do I know if I need to install a drainage system?

Standing water, soggy areas that never seem to dry out, erosion, water collecting near your home’s foundation, and mulch or soil washing away after rain are all common signs that your property may benefit from a professionally designed drainage system.

What type of drainage solution does my property need?

That depends on the source of the problem and the characteristics of your property.

Some problems can be solved with a French drain, while others require grading improvements, catch basins, downspout extensions, or a combination of drainage solutions. No matter the case, we’ll evaluate your property and recommend the approach that’s best suited for your specific situation.

Will a drainage system eliminate standing water?

In many cases, yes. A properly designed drainage system should redirect excess water away from low areas, helping eliminate standing water and improve the usability of your property. However, the exact results depend on your property’s grading, soil conditions, and the severity of the drainage problem.

Can poor drainage damage my home's foundation?

Yes. Water that consistently collects near your foundation may contribute to soil movement, moisture intrusion, and other issues over time. Managing excess water is an important part of protecting your home and landscape.

How long does it take to install a drainage system?

The timeline depends on the size of the project, the type of drainage solution being installed, and your property’s conditions. It may only take an hour or two to install downspout extensions, while regrading work may take days.

Will a drainage system affect the appearance of my landscape?

It may, but it’ll often do so in a good way, by eliminating soggy areas and improving the growing conditions for your lawn, plants, and trees.

In any event, professional drainage systems are designed to be as unobtrusive as possible while dealing with your excess moisture issue. Many components can be concealed underground, and decorative solutions such as dry creek beds can even enhance your landscape’s appearance.

How much do drainage solutions cost?

Drainage systems can cost as little as a few hundred dollars to as much as $8,000 or more.

The cost depends on the type of drainage system, the size of the affected area, and the complexity of the installation. After evaluating your property, we’ll recommend the most effective solution and provide a detailed estimate tailored to your needs.

Elion designed a new flower bed around my pool.    It is beautiful.  I love how it looks and I love all the plants they used.   David had good ideas about what to plant and how to lay it out.   I’m really excited and anxious to enjoy our back yard.  The communication was great and the work was done very quickly.   I would highly recommend using them.

I had them come out and do a simple fix on my front planter; the brick wall was compromised and falling down. They rebuild part of the wall and it looks beautiful! I was worried it would be obvious that different bricks were used since my original brick has a white splash to it, but it’s not noticeable at all. Not to mention that I found the price very reasonable. I will definitely use them for any future needs and highly recommend.

My over-50-year-old pecan tree needed a good pruning. David quickly got to work with his arborist, who gave my tree a much-needed trim and reshaping. The tree now looks much better, will stay healthy, and will look beautiful in the spring. I am pleased with the service and price, and look forward to working with Elion Landscaping on other projects. A big "thank you" to David and his crew.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They did great work on our yard! It was easy to get in contact with them and the response time was very quick. The owner is very friendly and personable. We asked them to remove all the leaves in our yard, remove a few voluntary trees, and make the flower bed in our front yard look nice. The team that did the work worked really hard and did a very nice job. It was a lot of work and our yard looks fantastic.
