A garden paradise that drains after the storm
Landscape and drainage design for homes and businesses in Clearwater and the Tampa Bay area, by Jess and Nick Kalaschenkow since 2001.
From standing water to a finished yard
Many homes here hold water every rainy season. We design the drainage and the planting together, so the water flows away from the house and the garden on top is built to handle the wet months. These are the four steps, in photos from our own jobs.
-
Standing water along a fence after rain Assess the yard
We come to your home, look at where the water sits after a storm and talk through what you want the yard to be.
-
A drainage plan drawn for the whole lot Review the plan
We draw the landscape and the drainage for your property and agree on the time frame with you before anything is dug.

The crew digs, removes whatever no longer fits the design, installs the drainage underground and grades the ground.
-
Finished, with the drainage out of sight Create your paradise
Then the planting: sod and plants chosen to take up water in the rainy season, over a drainage system designed to be nearly invisible.
Certified Hydraway installers. We install Hydraway drainage systems, chosen for their high in-flow rate, alongside French drains, swales and regrading, whichever the yard needs.

What customers say
“Nick was very friendly and professional, giving us a quote that was quite competitive. As we scheduled the job, communication with the office (Jessie) was a pleasant experience. The work was excellent and I would easily recommend this company.”
Norman H.
“Jessica's work was excellent and at a more than fair price. She planted two large bougainvilleas, prepared the beds, installed trellises, cleaned out an overgrown former planting bed, and improved an area beneath newly trimmed trees.”
