Drainage & Grading: Landscape Drainage

Buried Down-Spouts

Buried downspouts and yard drainage

Landscape drainage is a critical component of yard and garden design that ensures the proper flow of water away from structures and plant beds, helping to prevent a range of common problems like flooding, soil erosion, plant diseases, and even foundation damage. The importance of landscape drainage cannot be overstated, as it affects the health of your plants, the longevity of your property, and the overall aesthetics and functionality of your outdoor space.

Permeable Paver Drainage Field

Drainage below permeable pavers and gutter downspouts

Landscape Drainage beneath permeable pavers is crucial for ensuring that the entire system functions properly and provides the long-term benefits that permeable paving is designed to offer. While permeable pavers allow water to pass through the surface and be absorbed into the ground below, having an effective drainage system underneath is essential to prevent issues like water pooling, soil erosion, or premature failure of the paver system.

Grading & Restoration

Yard grading and leveling with straw blanket and seed

Grading—the process of shaping or leveling the land to create a desired slope or contour—is an essential step in landscape design and site preparation. Proper drainage and grading addresses several functional and aesthetic needs for your property, improving drainage, enhancing curb appeal, and ensuring the safety and longevity of your home and garden.

Lawn Renovation

Lawn renovation is an important process that can restore a tired, damaged, or unhealthy lawn and help it thrive once again. Whether your lawn has been affected by heavy foot traffic, pest infestations, poor soil quality, or simply age, renovation is an effective way to bring it back to life.

Dry Creek Beds & Water Management

Stanley Landscapes designs and installs dry creek beds that seamlessly combine beauty and functionality. Perfect for managing stormwater, controlling erosion, and directing runoff, these features are both practical and visually striking.


We use a careful combination of stones, boulders, gravel, and native plantings to create a natural-looking landscape element that complements your property’s design. Dry creek beds not only help protect your landscape from water damage but also add texture, depth, and a sense of tranquility to outdoor spaces.


Whether for residential yards, HOA communities, or commercial properties, Stanley Landscapes ensures every dry creek bed is durable, low-maintenance, and tailored to the unique needs of your property in Lake and Cook County, IL.
