Expert Yard Drainage Contractors Serving Everett

Standing water, soggy lawns, and drainage problems are common challenges for Everett homeowners — and they almost always have a solution. At New Life Rockeries, we've been solving yard drainage problems across Everett and surrounding communities since 1975, and we understand the soil conditions, rainfall patterns, and topography that make proper drainage critical in Western Washington.

Our Everett drainage installations address the root cause of water problems — not just the symptoms. We assess your property's grading, soil type, and water flow patterns to design a drainage system that moves water away from your home, yard, and retaining walls effectively and permanently.

Whether you need a French drain to intercept groundwater, a catch basin to collect surface runoff, a swale to redirect water flow, or a complete drainage system for a new retaining wall, our team brings the same expertise to every Everett project.

Poor drainage is the #1 cause of retaining wall failure in Western Washington. Our crews are licensed, bonded, and insured in Washington State.

Everett's glacial till soils and significant rainfall create yard drainage problems that affect properties across the city. New Life Rockeries has been solving yard drainage problems in Everett since 1975.

Everett's bluff properties above Puget Sound have unique drainage challenges. Water running toward the bluff edge must be managed carefully — uncontrolled runoff can erode the bluff face and destabilize the slope. We design drainage systems that intercept runoff before it reaches the bluff edge and discharge it safely away from the slope.

Everett's stormwater regulations require that drainage improvements on properties over a certain size be designed to manage runoff in accordance with the city's stormwater manual. We design drainage systems that comply with Everett's stormwater requirements.

We install French drains, catch basins, channel drains, dry creek beds, rain gardens, and complete drainage systems in Everett — selecting the right combination of solutions for your specific drainage problem.

Types & Options

What We Build

French Drain Installation

French Drain Installation

Perforated pipe systems installed in gravel-filled trenches that intercept and redirect groundwater away from your Everett home, yard, and retaining walls. French drains are the most effective solution for chronic wet areas and soggy lawns in the Pacific Northwest.

Catch Basins & Surface Drains

Catch Basins & Surface Drains

Surface drainage structures that collect and redirect runoff from Everett driveways, patios, low spots, and downspouts. Connected to underground pipe systems that discharge water safely away.

Swales & Grading

Swales & Grading

Graded drainage channels and yard regrading that redirect surface water flow away from your Everett home and landscaping. A natural, low-maintenance drainage solution integrated into your landscape.

Retaining Wall Drainage

Retaining Wall Drainage

Drainage systems installed behind Everett retaining walls to prevent hydrostatic pressure buildup — the #1 cause of retaining wall failure. Includes drain pipe, gravel backfill, filter fabric, and weep holes.

Downspout Drainage

Downspout Drainage

Underground pipe systems that capture roof runoff from Everett downspouts and carry it away from your foundation and yard. We connect downspouts to underground drain lines that discharge safely.

Dry Wells & Infiltration Systems

Dry Wells & Infiltration Systems

Underground infiltration systems that collect and slowly release water into the soil. Dry wells are ideal for Everett properties where water cannot be discharged to the street and the soil has adequate permeability.

What Our Customers Say

"We had chronic standing water in our backyard every winter. NLR installed a French drain system and the problem is completely solved. They diagnosed the issue accurately, explained the solution clearly, and the installation was clean and professional."

B
Brian Kowalski
Bothell, WA

"Our retaining wall was failing because of poor drainage behind it. NLR repaired the wall and installed a proper drainage system at the same time. Two years later, no problems. Highly recommend their integrated approach."

A
Anne Fitzgerald
Edmonds, WA

"Water was pooling against our foundation every winter. NLR installed catch basins, connected our downspouts to an underground system, and regraded the yard. The difference is remarkable. Professional team, fair price."
