French Drain and Yard Drainage in Oshtemo, MI
Kalamazoo Drainage Pros serves Oshtemo, Michigan, the growing township on the west side of Kalamazoo County. We are a licensed and insured drainage contractor installing french drains, correcting grading, burying downspout lines, and setting catch basins for homes throughout the area.
Oshtemo has filled in with newer homes over the last few decades, spread across ground that rolls more than the flat valley floor. Where a lot has fall, that is a gift: we run perforated pipe in washed #57 stone, wrapped in filter fabric, straight to daylight and let gravity finish it. The fabric is what field clay makes non-negotiable, because fines with nothing to hold them back seal a gravel trench solid.
The township is a mix. Newer subdivisions sit on graded clay that settles like any new build, while older homes and larger lots on the higher ground have their own aging drainage. The rolling ground helps in one way and hurts in another: it gives some lots an easy outlet, and it sends water pooling into the low pockets between the rises. We read the fall of each lot before deciding how to move the water.
Our work in Oshtemo runs from french drain installation and grading and slope correction to catch basins and buried downspout lines. Every job starts with a free written estimate.
