French Drain Installation
in Harrisburg, PA
A French drain is the most effective and long-lasting solution for persistent yard flooding and foundation water issues. We dig a gravel-filled trench with a perforated pipe that quietly redirects water away from your home — underground, invisible, and permanent.
How Our French Drain Installation Works
Site Assessment
We walk your property, identify problem water flow areas, and determine the best drain path and outlet location.
Trench Excavation
A slim, precisely-sloped trench is dug to ensure gravity carries water naturally toward the outlet.
Pipe & Gravel Install
We lay landscape fabric, place a perforated pipe, and fill with clean drain gravel to filter and redirect water.
Clean Backfill & Turf
The trench is backfilled and your lawn is restored. Most installations are nearly invisible within one season.

Great guy good prices on everything does great workPosted on Donna EppingerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They weeded mulched and trimmed bushes all around my home and yard. The guys were awesome… then I asked for trees to be cut down so sun could hit my driveway … took a few days but they came down. They got the job done pretty quick . Will work with Karaki againPosted on Sarah HobbsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. When Faris came over to look at my property to provide an estimate, I remember he did provide an hourly rate and said he thought it would come to around $700 total for my yard clean up. We were asking for all the leaves to be picked up, a large pile of sticks to be removed, a dead tree log to be removed, random yard trash (like old garden fencing) and a pile of acorns to be removed. Apparently, I misunderstood him, BUT nothing was put in writing so it's entirely possible I misunderstood. Either way, this is on him to be transparent and ensure his customers fully understand his pricing. THEN, he shows up with three guys that seem to have very little knowledge/experience in the landscaping. They told us, it was their FIRST day for all three of them. YET Faris left after the first 15 mins. They worked for four hours and removed the dead tree log and most of the stick pile, however the leaves are still terrible (all over the place and stuck in the flower beds) and the acorn pile is still there (maybe they removed some acorns). They also removed some random trash like garden fencing, but they put all that into OUR garbage cans. Faris told his workers this was okay to use our trash can before checking with me, so I felt pressured to say it was okay, after the garbage can was already filled up with yard waste. I didn't want to tell them they had to take it out. THEN I got into a very long very rude text string with Faris where he was threatening to serve me for not paying him. He did this on Monday, (this was only three days after his workers were here!), he said I had until Wednesday to pay him. I never said I wasn't going to pay him. I told him, he wasn't transparent about his pricing and I wasn't comfortable paying him $72.50 per worker per hour when this wasn't in writing and I did not understand this from the beginning. I never would have hired him at this rate. This is outrageous pricing for a team of workers that were not efficient at all. I learned my lesson here to 1. Always get the pricing in writing up front. 2. Never hire based on a per hourly rate unless you are confident that they efficient and trustworthy. I still haven't paid him, (only 4 days since he was here) because I feel scammed and the work that was promised to be done was not done. I will pay him, but not the full almost $1200 he is asking for, which basically comes to almost $300 per hour. Oh, and he said his worker told him we did a FINAL walk through. I walked through with him, but not a final one where I said okay everything looks good, you can leave now. The workers left without saying goodbye. I told Faris this and he seemed to not believe me. Lastly, per our cameras the workers arrived at 8:45, started work at 9am and stopped working at 1 and left at 1:15. Faris took it upon himself to average up to 5 hours of work. Maybe he included unloading, loading and drive time, but who knows, because none of this was explained and more importantly put in writing. Photos included of his "work". It looks worse in person. If he responds to this, lets hope he stays professional unlike his text messages with me.Posted on Spiderduck 579Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
