The Water Line

Twelve ways to put water in its place.

Every project below is fixed-scope - a defined package, not a mystery invoice. Built for Midwest soils and sized for Midwest frost, installed by pros. Utility locates are handled on every dig, and electrical work, where needed, is always by a licensed electrician.

Tier 1 - Entry

One visit. Real fix.

RS-101

Downspout Beautification

Turn an eyesore into a feature. Copper rain chain, stone catch basin, and native plantings that make the downspout look like it was always meant to be there. This one's about looks, not drainage - it dresses up the discharge without relocating the water. Installed in one day.

Starting at$848
RS-102

Buried Downspout Diversion

Water dumping at your foundation? We trench a proper buried line in solid PVC - not the corrugated pipe that clogs and crushes - and daylight it where it belongs. Both ends finished with a river-stone surround, so the inlet and outlet look designed, not patched. Utility-located, backfilled, turf restored. One visit, built to outlast the house.

Starting at$1,068
RS-103

Rain Barrel Install

Free water for your garden. Barrel, diverter, level base, overflow handled. One visit.

Starting at$683
Tier 2 - Diversion

Move the water. Keep the yard.

RS-201

Dry Creek Bed - 30 ft

A creek bed that moves real water and looks like it was always there - graded stone over a solid-PVC core, hand-set river rock, not a shovel-line of gravel. Solves the soggy strip and photographs beautifully.

Starting at$3,854
RS-202

French Drain - 50 ft

Standing water in the yard? A properly built French drain - solid-PVC collection line, clean stone, filter fabric done right - moves it underground and away. Not the corrugated pipe that silts up in three seasons. Fixed price, no surprises.

Starting at$2,621
RS-203

Starter Rain Garden - 100 sq ft

One downspout, one hundred square feet of native blooms that drink your roof water. Pollinators included.

Starting at$2,849
RS-204

Multi-Barrel Bank

Serious rain capture without the tank. A linked bank of barrels, plumbed as one system, finished clean.

Starting at$1,660
Tier 3 - Systems

Landscape-grade solutions.

RS-301

Signature Rain Garden - 250 sq ft

A full-scale rain garden designed for Indiana clay - engineered drawdown, curated native plant palette, built to be the best-looking thing on the street.

Starting at$7,163
RS-302

Garden + Creek Combo

The complete picture: dry creek bed feeding a signature rain garden. Moves the water, then puts it to work.

Starting at$9,780
RS-303

Above-Ground Cistern

Slimline cistern with a cedar screen surround - rain storage that looks like landscape architecture, not a plastic tank.

Starting at$4,995
Tier 4 - Underground

The whole-property answer.

RS-401

Buried Cistern - 1,700 gal

Serious storage, completely out of sight. A buried 1,700-gallon cistern capturing your roof water for irrigation reuse.

Starting at$14,472
RS-402

Whole-Property Package

Every downspout, every drainage issue, one integrated system - diversion, garden, and buried storage working together. Quoted after an on-site walk.

Starting at$25,280
How pricing works: the prices above are real installed starting points, not teasers - benchmarked on Midwest labor and materials. Your exact number confirms after we see the site, since soil, slope, access, and local costs all move it, and we tell you before anything is scheduled. The Whole-Property Package (RS-402) always begins with an on-site walk.

Know which one your yard needs? Not sure?

Either way, it starts with a photo and a conversation.
