Why Union County Properties Need Specialized Drainage Work
Union County, Ohio sits on some of the most challenging soil in the state for property drainage. The glacial till that forms the foundation of our local soil profile is dense clay that holds water instead of letting it pass through. When it rains in Marysville, Plain City, or anywhere in the county, that water sits on the surface until it finds a path to flow, and that path is often right toward your house.
As a grading and drainage contractor based right here on Benton Road in Marysville, we see the consequences of poor drainage every week. Homeowners in new subdivisions along SR-31 and US-33 corridors deal with builder-grade grading that was never finished properly. Older homes in Marysville's established neighborhoods face settling, root-damaged surfaces, and downspouts that dump water directly against foundations. Rural properties throughout Union County deal with field tile drainage that intersects with residential lots.
We solve these problems by combining proper land grading with underground drainage systems engineered for Ohio's clay soil. Every project starts with an on-site assessment where we use laser levels to map elevation changes and identify exactly where water is going wrong. Then we design a solution that addresses both the surface and subsurface water issues specific to your property.

Why a Dedicated Grading & Drainage Contractor Matters
Many landscaping companies offer grading as an add-on service, but few have the equipment, expertise, and soil knowledge to do it correctly in Ohio's clay conditions. Grading that looks fine on the surface can fail within a year if the subgrade was not properly compacted, if the slope was not steep enough, or if the drainage system was undersized for the water volume.
As a contractor who handles grading and drainage as core services, not afterthoughts, we bring the right tools and knowledge to every project. Our equipment includes skid steers with grading attachments, mini excavators for drain line trenching, laser levels for precision grade work, and plate compactors for proper subgrade preparation. We understand how Union County's clay soil behaves in wet and dry conditions, how freeze-thaw cycles affect graded surfaces, and how to design drainage systems that handle Ohio's heaviest rainstorms.
