Drainage Contractors Greensboro: Yard & Property Drainage Solutions
J. Coble Construction provides drainage solutions for residential, commercial, and municipal properties in Greensboro and surrounding areas. If your yard stays wet long after rainfall, water keeps showing up near the foundation, or erosion has started to regrade parts of your property, drainage is usually the underlying issue. We design and install drainage systems that work with existing grades, soil conditions, and how water habitually moves across the property. When grading adjustments are needed, we handle those as part of the solution rather than treating them as a separate problem. Jason Coble remains directly involved from the initial site visit through installation; call 336-539-0428 to schedule a drainage consultation.

Are Drainage Issues Plaguing Your Property?
Drainage issues in Greensboro rarely stay confined to one small area. What starts as a soggy patch of lawn often turns into erosion, washed-out landscaping, or moisture collecting near the foundation. Over time, soil settles, grades flatten, and runoff patterns change. Once water no longer has a clear path away from the property, it begins finding routes you did not intend.
We approach drainage by looking at how the entire property behaves during and after rainfall. Water might surface in one location, but the cause is often uphill or closer to the structure. Jason stays hands-on throughout the process because drainage work frequently requires real-time decisions as excavation reveals how water has been moving underground and across the surface.

Drainage Solutions for Homes and Commercial Properties
Yard and Foundation Drainage for Residential Properties
Homeowners in Greensboro usually call us after living with drainage problems longer than they should have. Yards remain soft days after rain, mulch disappears from beds, and water collects near crawl spaces or basement walls. In many cases, these issues stem from a combination of poor surface flow and trapped subsurface water rather than a single failure. We assess how water enters the property, how it travels across the yard, and where it currently gets stuck. From there, we design drainage solutions that may involve underground systems, surface grading, or a coordinated mix of both. The objective is to move water away from the structure and out of problem areas without pushing it toward another part of the yard.
Drainage Planning for Commercial and Multi-Use Properties
Commercial drainage issues tend to show up in more visible ways. Parking areas hold water after storms. Pavement edges erode near landscaped buffers. Water runs toward buildings instead of away from them. Large roof areas and expansive pavement increase runoff volume while limiting where water can safely disperse. We design and install drainage systems for office buildings, retail centers, service facilities, and other commercial properties across Greensboro. Our work often involves coordinating drainage improvements with existing pavement, curb lines, and grading so water is directed where it belongs rather than collecting in high-traffic areas.
Our Capabilities
Drainage Systems We Design and Install in Greensboro
Subsurface Drainage for Saturated Soil
When soil stays wet below the surface, surface fixes rarely solve the problem. Subsurface drainage systems intercept groundwater and redirect it away from foundations, low areas, and chronically saturated sections of the yard. These systems are designed around proper slope, filtration, and discharge so water continues moving instead of pooling underground. Installation details matter. Poorly built subsurface systems clog or simply shift water to another problem area. Our approach focuses on keeping water moving and exiting the property in a controlled, reliable way.
Roof Runoff Control and Downspout Drainage
Roof runoff concentrates large volumes of water in a short amount of time. When downspouts empty at the base of the home, they saturate soil where it causes the most harm. Over time, this can contribute to foundation settlement, crawl space moisture, and erosion. We install underground downspout drainage that carries roof water away from the structure and discharges it safely through pop-up emitters, swales, or connected drainage paths. These systems help stabilize soil near the foundation and reduce long-term moisture problems.
Surface Grading and Flow Correction
Some drainage problems happen entirely above ground. When water stalls in low areas or flows toward the structure, reshaping the land can be the most effective solution. We adjust grades to create gentle slopes that guide water away from problem areas without disrupting how the yard is used. Surface grading is often paired with other drainage features so water moves efficiently across the property instead of collecting in pockets.
Stone Channels and Open Drainage Features
Open drainage features, such as stone-lined channels, are useful for managing heavier runoff during storms. These features remain dry most of the time but provide a defined path for water when rainfall is intense. We design stone channels to follow natural flow paths and handle water volume without causing erosion. Proper depth, stone selection, and layout help these features function correctly while still looking intentional within the landscape.
Commercial Drainage Infrastructure and Stormwater Handling
Commercial sites often require drainage systems that handle higher volumes of water while working within existing infrastructure. We install catch basins, storm connections, and site drainage systems that protect buildings, pavement, and landscaped areas from water damage. This work frequently ties into existing storm systems and requires close coordination with grading and concrete features already on site.
Full-Property Drainage Systems
Some properties experience multiple drainage failures at once. A wet yard, foundation moisture, and surface runoff issues often share the same root cause. In these situations, isolated fixes tend to move the problem rather than solve it. We design full-property drainage systems that combine subsurface drainage, roof runoff control, surface grading, and open features so all components work together. Addressing the entire system prevents water from shifting from one trouble spot to another.

How We Diagnose and Build Drainage Systems That Last
Every drainage project begins with a site evaluation. We review grades, soil conditions, existing drainage paths, and visible signs of water movement across the property. Instead of relying on generic solutions, we build a plan around how water actually behaves on the site.
Installation is handled with proper excavation, material selection, and grade control so the system performs as intended. Once the work is complete, affected areas are restored so the property looks functional and clean rather than disrupted.

Drainage FAQs
A slope alone does not guarantee good drainage. If soil is compacted or water is trapped below the surface, runoff may move while moisture remains underground. In these cases, subsurface drainage is often required.
No. Waterproofing addresses moisture at the structure itself, while drainage focuses on controlling where water goes before it reaches the foundation. Proper drainage reduces the pressure that leads to foundation moisture problems.
In many cases, yes. Redirecting water flow often stops erosion without the need for full landscape replacement. Once water is controlled, affected areas can be stabilized and restored.
We look at natural flow paths, existing drainage connections, and surrounding grades. Water needs a clear, reliable exit that does not create issues elsewhere on the property or neighboring sites.
Drainage installation involves excavation, but we plan routes carefully and restore affected areas once work is complete. The goal is a functional system without leaving the yard looking disturbed.
Older properties often have grades and drainage patterns that no longer work as intended. We evaluate how those systems have changed over time and design solutions that correct the issues rather than patching around them.
Yes. Larger or more complex properties can be addressed in phases, especially when access or budget considerations are involved. We plan phased work so each step contributes to the final solution.
If water is showing up near the foundation, causing erosion, or keeping large areas of the yard unusable, the issue is usually more extensive than it appears on the surface. Early evaluation helps prevent more serious damage later.
