Outdoor Drainage Services
Greenway LS can provide you different solutions to address your unique drainage problem. Frequently, one of the below drainage options will solve your problem. However, it may require a combination of solutions to resolve the root problem.
French Drainage
French drains work by ‘absorbing’ ground saturation with the use of gravel and a perforated pipe. When the water enters the French drain, it is carried to a storm sewer or dry well for discharge.
Catch Basin
Catch basins, also known as yard drains, are designed to collect standing surface water as quickly as possible. Very often, houses suffering from flooding issues can be solved with a simple, well placed catch basin.
Dry Well
A dry well is most often used in situations where a storm sewer connection is not available. Dry wells provide large-capacity water collection and retention.
HAVE WATER POOLING IN YOUR YARD?
Have you ever noticed after a rain, water pooling around certain areas of your yard? Or, that your yard has both high and low spots, causing the rain to settle in those low spots? Greenway LS has the right solution for your yard drainage needs.

We Love What We Do
There are multiple reasons why we love working with yard drainage. Customer satisfaction for one, especially when customers tell us how thrilled they are with the work we have done to correct their lawn drainage problems. We know we have help to resolve a concern.
Another one is figuring out realistic ways to solve a water problem without costing an arm and a leg. Some companies will come in and quote upwards to 50K for a project that involves massive house waterproofing. The problem is, once completed, there can still be flooding in a yard.
Our solution, for a fraction of the cost, is to divert the water from the property. This way the house stays dry and the water in the yard is gone.
In our line of work, we have seen massive over expenditures. Typically charged for correcting excessive water in and around the house. Our experience getting to the root of the problem the first time is best practice. Often there is a simple, and effective way to deal with the problem.
Licensed and Insured
Yes, Greenway LS is fully licensed and insured. In Wisconsin it is required to be licensed as a “utility contractor,” to do any outdoor plumbing or sewer hookups. There are also state codes about what pipes to use…required slope…calculating GPM (gallons per minute), etc.
Greenway LS believes in following the state regulations as another way to insure proper installation. We believe it gives the customer another layer of assurance the project will be completed according and up to code.
In addition, Greenway LS must submit to the county a plan for the work to be performed. Once they sign off, the permit (for the work) will be issued. All of this must be done before any work can begin.
Greenway LS Leads the Way in Customer Service
Starting off, we hire employees that hold the same high standards that we set for ourselves. In doing so, we ensure that the work Greenway LS does will be consistent with each project. More importantly, it will be done honestly and with integrity.
We pride ourselves on being transparent with our clients. Our employees understand the benefits of great customer relationships. We will provide honest evaluation of the work to done. Also, we will share with you, using our professional experience, your best option. Our number one job is to make sure you understand the full scope of what will occur, should we begin a project for you. Finally, we deliver on-time completion of your project, while staying within budget.
We are professional and guarantee high-quality and straightforward workmanship. In addition, we keep a detailed record of project discussions, thus continuing our commitment to the high standards we have set.
“We hired Joe and his team to reroute a number of our downspouts to our sump drain and we are extremely happy with the responsiveness, value and overall workmanship of the project. Joe was very responsive and realistic on both budget and timeline, and is always available for follow up questions. Wonderful experience!”

Frequently Asked Yard Drainage Questions
Whenever we talk to people about what we do, invariably there are questions. Oftentimes they are the same question, just phrased differently. To help assist our customers, we compile the list of the most often asked questions.
It depends on the extent of work involved. Greenway LS will often tell their customers there are numerous ways to complete the job. The minimal approach can and will correct the issue. We will defer to this route and are confident it will take care of the problem. However, if the client wants additional assurance, we can add to the plan originally suggested. Typically, costs range from $1,000 to $10,000+
At Greenway LS we price everything based on linear foot of pipe, per catch basin, etc. We will provide you with the best solution for your need and charge appropriately. We are not fans of upselling our customers. We prefer to work with honesty and integrity and to the highest standards possible.
As we take our initial assessment, we make note of two especially important items. The condition of the yard, and how wet it is in its current state. Typically, the grass will be flattened and lightly beat up. Not to worry! We use a Luigi, which is designed to go on the grass with nominal force. After a couple of days, your grass will be back to its original state.
When surveyed, our customers realize with drainage work, some disruption to a lawn is necessary. Most of them are pleased that we perform the work with minimal impact.
Depending on the project, it could take a day, or a week. Typically, most of our projects are completed within 1 to 3 days. Once our initial interview is complete, we can give you a more accurate period for completing the work.

By working with Greenway LS, this will not happen. Due to the initial assessment with the client, multiple options are presented. If money is a concern, we will fix the problem with what the client is comfortable spending. The caveat would be with less money initially spent; we may have to come back to do more work later.
The goal is to give multiple options to the customer. This way they make the decision either to spend more now or know the possibility of having to do additional work in the future. The point being is, Greenway LS will show them with each option how much and what to expect.
Depending on the size of the job, it could be up to three people. This includes the general contractor.

At Greenway LS it is important to us to preserve the lawns of our customers when doing a project. When we complete a job, we want our clients like the job we have done from start to finish. This includes putting back their yard as close to original as possible.
To assist us in keeping yard integrity, we use a machine called a Luigi. Many companies will use a skid steer or an excavator to do drainage work. This does great damage to any yard by sometimes leaving large groves. We prefer the Luigi because it resembles a golf cart or a big zero turn mower. The advantage here it’s designed for grass plus it won’t destroy the lawn.
We find our customers are very satisfied with the less invasive approach we take using the Luigi.
