Drainage Solutions in Wilsonville
Drainage in Wilsonville is generally predictable because of the flat-to-rolling terrain. French drains route to either a low-spot daylight or a properly-sized soakage trench. Newer subdivisions often have stormwater requirements documented in the HOA CC&Rs.
About working in Wilsonville
What we've learned installing drainage solutions in Wilsonville.
Wilsonville sits at the I-5/Hwy 99W intersection, which makes it logistically efficient for us. The mix of newer subdivisions, established neighborhoods, and townhouse communities means we see a wider range of project sizes here than in any other city in the corridor.
Terrain & soil
Flat-to-gently-rolling lots dominate. Soil profile is consistent — loamy topsoil over clay 12-18 inches down, which makes drainage planning predictable. The flat terrain means most patios and walkways can be laid without the engineering complications we see in West Linn or Oregon City.
Properties we work on
Mix of subdivisions from the 1990s onward, plus newer master-planned communities (Villebois, Frog Pond). Lot sizes range from townhome-sized (0.08 acre) to 0.4 acre on the older neighborhoods. HOA architectural review is common — we know the process.

Common questions
What Wilsonville homeowners ask about drainage solutions.
Why does my yard have standing water?
Usually one of three things: grade slopes water toward the house instead of away, soil is too compacted to absorb runoff, or roof downspouts dump too close to the foundation. We diagnose during the free site visit (ideally during or right after a rain).
What's the difference between a french drain and a channel drain?
A french drain is a perforated pipe buried in gravel that collects subsurface water — best for soggy lawns and slope runoff. A channel drain is a surface grate across driveways or walkways that catches sheet runoff. We often combine both depending on what's actually moving water on your property.
How much do drainage solutions cost?
Simple downspout extensions and surface grading start around $1,500. Full french drain systems with restoration run $4,000–$12,000. Foundation drainage repairs can run higher. We give a locked quote after the site visit.
Will drainage work damage my existing landscape?
We minimize disturbance and restore everything we touch — sod, plants, hardscape edges. Drainage often hides under landscape once we're done; you shouldn't see it.
Do you require an upfront payment?
No. We never require upfront payment. The free site visit gives you a locked quote, and you're not invoiced until the work is complete.
