Reliable drainage solutions that protect your landscape and foundation year-round.
Drainage Service in Iowa for Healthier Lawns and Safer Properties
Reliable Drainage Solutions That Last
Excess water can damage lawns, weaken foundations, create muddy areas, and accelerate soil erosion. Schares Landscaping provides professional Drainage service designed to manage water efficiently and protect residential and commercial landscapes throughout Iowa. Every property is carefully evaluated to identify grading issues, poor runoff patterns, and saturated soil before recommending the most effective solution.
Site Evaluation
Each project begins with a detailed inspection of slopes, drainage paths, and water collection points. This allows our team to design systems that direct water away from structures while preserving the appearance of your landscape.
Custom Drainage Systems
Depending on your property’s conditions, we install French drains, catch basins, channel drains, downspout extensions, and underground drainage piping. Every solution is selected to improve water movement while minimizing future maintenance.
Long-Term Property Protection
Our Drainage service focuses on preventing recurring problems instead of providing temporary fixes. Proper drainage helps maintain healthy grass, reduces erosion, protects hardscapes, and extends the lifespan of your outdoor investment through every Iowa season.
Benefits You Can Expect

Water is redirected before pooling damages your lawn, foundation, or landscape features.

Proper drainage lowers the risk of moisture infiltration around your home’s foundation.
