Lots, slopes and soil: how Lebanon drains
Rural properties have driveways that wash out, culverts that block and fields that flood, and the excavation work is at a scale where the machine and the operator are the service.
Drainage on a septic property is routed clear of the field, because a drain that saturates the field is a septic failure; the design knows where the field is.
Long drives need cross-drains and ditches maintained, and a crew that regrades a gravel drive and sets the culverts is a yearly call on these properties.
Older neighborhoods have mature trees whose roots have found every old drain, and the fix is a new line routed around them with a proper outlet.
New subdivisions have the drainage problems of settled fill and unfinished grading — water against the foundation, a swale that never worked — and the repair is regrading and a drain to a real outlet.

Water problems we fix in Lebanon
Middle Tennessee clay drains slowly and holds water at the surface, which is why so many Nashville gardens have a soggy patch that persists for days after everyone else has dried out.
- Crawl space or basement taking water
- A soggy patch that never dries
- Mulch or soil washing across a path
- Downspouts discharging at the foundation
Ignoring the roof. A roof sheds an enormous volume of water. Solving a yard drainage problem while the downspouts still discharge at the foundation solves half a problem.

How much does drainage and excavation cost in Lebanon?
Drainage work in Lebanon is priced by the linear foot for French drains and downspout lines, by the hour for machine grading, and by the piece for catch basins; the discharge point is the part of the design that decides the price, and the quote names it.

Who issues permits for drainage and excavation in Lebanon?
City of Lebanon Codes, or Wilson County outside the city limits regulates discharge to the street and to a neighbor, and grading that changes runoff onto another lot; a drainage contractor who knows the local rule designs to it.
