Drainage in the Quad Cities
No published range. Landscaping labor in the QC area runs $50-100 per hour; your quote sets the exact price.
What changes the price
Run length
A short run to daylight costs less than tying to a storm line.
Soil
Clay holds water; a wider trench and more stone move it faster.
Discharge
Daylight is cheapest; a sump or dry well adds to it.
Grading
Regrading a low spot by the foundation adds soil and seeding.
What's included
- Trenching and perforated pipe in washed stone
- Filter fabric to keep silt out of the stone
- Discharge to daylight or a dry well
- Regrading of low spots by the foundation
How a local crew does it
- 01
Find the water
We read where the water sits after a storm and where it wants to go.
- 02
Cut the trench
We dig a graded trench, line it with filter fabric, and lay perforated pipe in washed stone.
- 03
Discharge
We run it to daylight, a dry well, or tie it into a storm line — never onto the neighbor's lot.
- 04
Regrade and seed
We backfill and pitch the soil away from the foundation, then seed the trench line.
When to book in zone 5b
Install in the warm months when the ground is workable. Fix it before the next storm season, not after.
