Drainage and Erosion Control

Drainage and Erosion Control in Bentonville

Water is what wrecks a grade in Northwest Arkansas, and drainage is how Sancd keeps your property intact. We pitch positive slopes away from structures and install swales, French drains, and detention features so an Ozark downpour drains off instead of pooling against a foundation. Paired with silt fence, inlet protection, and erosion blankets, the system meets stormwater (NPDES and SWPPP) requirements while keeping your soil where it belongs.

Why It Matters Through the Wet Season

A lot that sheds water in September can flood in a wet April if there is nowhere for the runoff to go. Standing water near a footing, topsoil washing toward Little Sugar Creek, and a spongy yard after every storm all trace back to drainage. Getting it right protects the slab, the driveway, and the landscaping through the heaviest part of the Benton County rain calendar.

Our Process

We start with an 811 locate and read the site’s existing flow, then grade the surface to move water deliberately, trench and bed the French drains and pipe, and shape swales or a detention basin sized to the volume. Erosion best management practices go in first on disturbed sites so nothing washes out while the work is underway. Everything ties into a plan that handles the next big rain.
