Grading & Drainage

At Tri-Star Landscape, we offer grading and water drainage solutions that are essential for protecting your property and ensuring a healthy, functional landscape. Proper grading helps direct water away from your home or building, preventing costly damage like foundation erosion, basement flooding, and pooling in your yard. We assess the natural contours of your property and make precise adjustments to ensure water flows exactly where it should.

In addition to grading, Tri-Star designs and installs custom drainage systems tailored to each site’s needs—whether it’s French drains, dry creek beds, or downspout extensions. My goal is to manage stormwater efficiently while maintaining the beauty of your outdoor space. With years of experience serving the Knoxville area, we make sure your landscape not only looks great but also works the way it should—no more soggy spots, standing water, or erosion issues.

Regrading

Regrading is one of the simplest ways to improve drainage. When done correctly, it can negate the need for underground pipe systems. Tri-Star will assess your property, identity problem areas, and provide a regrading plan that looks great and solves your problem(s) once and for all.

Lawn Drains & Downspouts

A lawn drain can help move water away from a single low spot in a yard. Adding underground pipes for downspouts is one of the easiest ways to carry water away from a home’s foundation. We can recommend corrugated pipe, perforated corrugated pipe, or solid green pipe depending on your needs and budget.

French Drains

French drains are a common way to help drain water away from your property. A French drain is essentially perforated pipe encased in gravel that allows water to enter into a drainage channel underground, but also continue to soak into the ground when possible.

Dry Beds

Dry creek beds are essentially drainage ditches filled with river rocks that allow water to flow away from your problem area. The stones prevent erosion, even during periods of heavy flow.

Swales

Artificial swales are infiltration basins designed to manage water runoff, filter pollutants, and increase rainwater infiltration. While these are mostly used in commercial applications and planned communities, they also can be useful for private residences.
