🚧 Drainage Issues? Don’t Overpay for Underwhelming Results. 🚧

It all begins with an idea.

A Neighborly Reminder from Seaside Custom Pavers & Edging

We’re hearing from too many neighbors who’ve spent thousands on drainage work—only to be left with the same soggy yard, standing water, or recurring issues they started with.

It’s frustrating. And it’s avoidable.

Before you commit to a costly fix, let us offer a second opinion and a fair, honest estimate.

Rodney brings decades of hands-on experience, including:

  • ✅ Farm drainage system installation

  • ✅ Water and sewer main installation

  • ✅ Septic system installation

  • ✅ Culvert and drainage work for private and city streets

His work is grounded in real-world know-how—not guesswork. Around Hampstead, Summerhouse, and the greater Holly Ridge area, French drains are often pushed as a one-size-fits-all solution. But they’re frequently misunderstood and misapplied.

Running drainage lines may be needed—but Rodney will evaluate the overall problem first to recommend the best solution for your yard, your soil, and your setup.

🧠 What’s Really Causing Drainage Problems?

  • Improper grading during initial construction
    Yards that weren’t properly sloped can trap water and prevent natural runoff.

  • Landscaping changes
    Adding mulch beds, walkways, or retaining walls without considering water flow can disrupt drainage patterns.

  • Clogged gutters tied into underground drainage
    If your downspouts are blocked, water backs up and floods the yard—often unnoticed until it’s too late.
