Yard Drainage Solutions

Standing water, soggy lawns, and foundation damage are common problems in Michigan. Higher Ground Landscaping specializes in comprehensive drainage solutions that protect your property and restore your yard to usable condition. We are Oakland County's #1 ranked drainage contractor.

Tony Barash has been solving Michigan's toughest drainage problems since 1996. We don't just install drains — we engineer complete water management systems that account for Michigan's freeze-thaw cycles, clay soils, and heavy spring runoff.
