G&G Landscape designs and installs drainage systems and erosion control measures that protect commercial and residential properties across northeast Wyoming.
Unmanaged water causes more landscape failures than any other factor. Standing water drowns turf and plantings. Uncontrolled runoff erodes slopes, undermines retaining walls, and damages pavement. G&G Landscape solves these problems with drainage and erosion control systems engineered for the specific conditions across Gillette, Sheridan, Buffalo, Casper, Douglas, Sundance, and Spearfish.
Our crews install French drains, catch basins, channel drains, swales, rip-rap, and erosion blankets. We handle subsurface drainage for commercial pads, stormwater conveyance for parking lots, slope stabilization on graded sites, and yard drainage for residential properties. Every system is designed around actual water flow patterns observed on the site—not assumptions from a desk.
For commercial projects, we coordinate drainage work with site grading, retaining wall construction, and landscape installation so the entire system functions as one integrated build. When erosion control is required during construction, we install temporary BMPs (silt fence, wattles, inlet protection) that meet regulatory requirements.
We walk the site to identify water sources, flow paths, low spots, and existing problem areas. On commercial projects, we review grading plans and civil drawings to understand the full drainage picture before recommending a solution.
Based on the assessment, we design a drainage system that addresses the root cause—not just the symptoms. This includes pipe sizing, structure placement, outlet locations, and slope calculations. We select the right combination of French drains, catch basins, swales, or surface grading to move water efficiently off the site.
Our crews excavate trenches, shape swales, and regrade problem areas to establish proper flow. We maintain correct slopes throughout the system to ensure water moves by gravity without pooling.
Perforated and solid drain pipe, catch basins, channel drains, and pop-up emitters are installed at the specified depths and grades. Aggregate backfill and filter fabric are placed to prevent sediment from clogging the system over time.
After the drainage infrastructure is in place, we restore disturbed surfaces with topsoil, sod, seed, rip-rap, or erosion blankets as required. The finished grade ties back into the surrounding landscape with no visible evidence of the work below.
Common signs include standing water that persists more than 24 hours after rain, soggy or spongy turf, water stains on foundation walls, eroding slopes, and sediment deposits on pavement or in landscaped beds. If water is pooling against a building, retaining wall, or hardscape, it needs to be addressed before it causes structural damage.
Permit requirements depend on the scope of work and the property type. Commercial projects that alter stormwater flow patterns typically require engineering review and may need to meet city or county stormwater management standards. Residential drainage projects that stay within the property and don't affect neighboring lots generally do not require a permit. G&G Landscape can help determine what's required for your specific project.
Well-designed drainage systems require minimal maintenance. Catch basin grates should be cleared of debris a few times per year, especially after heavy storms. French drain outlets and pop-up emitters should be checked to make sure they're flowing freely. Most subsurface systems will run for decades without intervention as long as they were installed with proper filter fabric and aggregate.
Yes. G&G Landscape installs drainage systems on commercial sites, municipal properties, and residential lots. Commercial projects often involve larger pipe, engineered detention, and coordination with civil plans. Residential projects typically focus on yard drainage, downspout routing, and foundation protection. The process and materials scale to fit the job.
