Yard Drainage & French Drains in North Georgia

Why It Happens Here

Drainage Built for North Georgia Clay

The red clay across Gainesville, Cumming, Dawsonville and the foothills barely absorbs water — when it rains hard, nearly all of it runs across the surface. On flat lots it ponds; on slopes it cuts channels, washes out gravel drives, and pushes water against foundations. The fix is rarely one product. It's reading how water moves across your specific lot, then combining drainage grading, French drains, and collection points so gravity does the work permanently.

Because ALLCON is a grading and excavating company, we fix drainage with the same crew and equipment that cut the grade in the first place — trenching, pipe, gravel, fabric, backfill, and a clean final grade, all in one mobilization. And if the wet spot in your yard sits over your septic lines, that may not be a drainage problem at all: it can be a failing drain field, and we're one of the few companies that can tell you honestly which one you're dealing with, because we fix both.

For commercial sites and larger builds, we install engineered underground stormwater retention — chamber systems and pipe galleries that meet county runoff requirements while keeping the land above them usable. Call Ralph at (678) 410-0310 for a free on-site drainage assessment.
