French Drain and Yard Drainage in Richland, MI
Kalamazoo Drainage Pros works in Richland, Michigan, the village northeast of Kalamazoo near Gull Lake. We are a licensed and insured drainage contractor doing french drains, yard drainage, footing drains, buried downspouts, and dry wells for homes and country properties around the village.
Richland is spread-out lake and farm country, with larger lots on slow clay and a water table the lake keeps high in places. Many lots do have a ditch or a low run to reach, and where they do, we run perforated pipe in washed #57 stone to daylight and let gravity do the rest. The fabric wrap keeps the field silt out; without it a gravel trench chokes on this soil before long.
Out here the outlets are better than in town, but the distances are longer. A drain may have to travel a good way across a lot to reach a ditch or a fall, and the run has to keep dropping the whole distance. Near Gull Lake the water table can sit high enough that even a country lot behaves like river ground. We survey the fall before we dig, because a flat spot in the middle of a long run stops the water cold.
Our work in Richland covers french drains, footing drains, catch basins and dry wells, and buried downspout lines. Every job starts with a free written estimate.
