Water Drainage Solutions Foxboro, MA

Water always wins unless you give it somewhere to go

Looking for water drainage solutions in Foxboro, MA? Ten Four Landscape & Construction has handled it for homeowners, business owners and property managers across Norfolk County since 2012. Our Wrentham yard is also about twenty minutes away.

Water drainage solutions are the most underrated work we do, and often the first thing that should happen on a property. On the ledge, clay and high water tables around here, a yard that stays wet is not a lawn problem or a landscaping problem. It is a water problem, and everything else fails until you solve it. Foxboro homeowners have relied on us as their local landscaper for years. So we bring that same approach to every water drainage solutions job in town.

We start by watching where the water actually goes: roof runoff, surface flow across the lawn, groundwater in the low spots, neighbors uphill. Then we build the fix: regrading to move surface water away from the foundation, French drains to intercept groundwater, and catch basins and pipe to carry it. Dry wells or daylight outlets release it, and downspout lines stop the roof from dumping next to the basement.

Why Foxboro, MA homeowners call Ten Four for Water Drainage Solutions

Foxboro is best known for Gillette Stadium and Patriot Place on Route 1, but the town we work in most days is residential. Think colonials and capes on wooded lots around the historic common, neighborhoods off Mechanic Street, Chestnut Street and North Street, and larger rural parcels near F. Gilbert Hills State Forest. We also maintain commercial properties along the Route 1 and Route 140 corridors, where a clean, safe frontage is part of doing business.

Foxboro sits on some of the rockiest ground in Norfolk County. Granite ledge and boulders are close to the surface across much of the town, which changes how we excavate for patios, walls and drainage. Thin soil over rock also dries out fast in midsummer. The low areas near the Neponset Reservoir, Lake Mirimichi and the Cocasset River stay wet. So grading and drainage are usually part of the conversation on any Foxboro property.
