Wonderful experience! The work was quoted and completed within the same week. Price is very competitive and the work is top notch. During the installs and in between dump truck deliveries the staffing supported minor landscaping and helped with surrounding projects. Great local service that met all of my needs!
Yard Drainage Repair in Batesville, IN
Hodges Grading & Excavating repairs yard drainage problems for homeowners across Batesville, Indiana and surrounding communities.
Expert Yard Drainage Repair in Batesville, IN
Standing water in your yard is more than a nuisance. In Batesville and across southeast Indiana, clay-heavy soil absorbs water slowly and creates low spots where water collects after rain. That pooling puts pressure on foundations, kills grass, and turns yards into muddy, unusable spaces. Yard drainage repair from Hodges Grading & Excavating addresses the root cause, not just the surface symptom. We assess how water moves across your property, identify where grading has failed or pipes have broken, and restore proper flow away from your home. Common repair needs include correcting negative slopes that push water toward foundations, clearing or replacing blocked underground lines, and fixing low spots that trap runoff. We serve Batesville, Greensburg, Oldenburg, Sunman, Osgood, Versailles, Shelbyville, Milan, Aurora, Dillsboro, Lawrenceburg, Westport, and Brookville. If water is sitting in your yard after every rain, contact Hodges Grading & Excavating to schedule an assessment.
