Culvert Installation in Charlotte & Surrounding Areas
When stormwater needs to flow under a driveway, yard, or roadway, a culvert provides a reliable solution. At Drain My Lawn, we specialize in professional culvert installations that keep water moving safely while protecting your property from flooding and erosion.
A culvert is a pipe installed underground to allow water to pass through areas where surface flow is blocked. Without a proper culvert, heavy rain can wash out driveways, damage landscaping, and create dangerous pooling. Our team installs durable, long-lasting culverts using the right materials for your property, including double-wall corrugated pipe for maximum strength.
Benefits of a properly installed culvert include:
Directs stormwater safely under driveways and walkways
Prevents erosion and washouts in heavy rain
Protects landscaping and property value
Ensures long-term durability with professional-grade materials
At Drain My Lawn, we don’t just install culverts — we design each system to integrate with your overall drainage plan for maximum performance.
We proudly serve Charlotte, Monroe, Waxhaw, Fort Mill, Concord, Matthews, Davidson, Harrisburg, Belmont, Midland, and nearby areas. With years of local expertise, we know how to handle North Carolina’s heavy rains and clay soils to build culverts that last.
💧 Trust Drain My Lawn – Charlotte’s French Drain and drainage experts – for professional culvert installations that protect your property from costly water damage.

Nick came out to our house today for a consult. My husband and I were certain we had a drainage issue in our yard. To our surprise, it was not a drainage issue at all! Nick was a wealth of information and gave us some incredibly helpful tips to fix the issue on our own using some simple methods. We are grateful for his knowledge and honesty. Some companies may have tried to push their services but this was not the case. I highly recommend Drain My Lawn for anyone who is having challenges with their yard. Will definitely reach out to them in the future if our needs change! See more See less

Drain My Lawn, Kenneth T., was very knowledgeable concerning my drainage issues along with recommending proven solutions to resolve the issues addressing my concerns.

My backyard had issues with flooding and water coming up to our house after severe storms. After research, this team was highly recommended so I decided to go with them. From the start, this company demonstrated professionalism, excellent communication, and upfront pricing and recommendations. I had also reached out to other companies for their opinions and recommendations and I thought this team's proposal was much better with competitive pricing. Thank you Kenneth, Nick, and the entire team for an excellent job. See more See less
Can't say enough about the folks at Drain My Lawn.. I had them replace two driveaway culverts, install a new one in a second driveway and do some drainage related grading on my property and was very pleased!.. When my son bought his first home recently... We had Drain My Lawn come out and look at a situation caused by the previous owner.. They installed new drainage lines and a catch basin and graded and seeded the area afterwards... Now it looks like they were never there. Had a downpour a day or two after they finished the work and the new drainage system worked flawlessly!!! I really like Nick's business model and how he pours into the staff and give them opportunities to be part of the business. Everyone is very responsive and respectful. When Nick came out to both properties, he not only listened to our concerns, but spent time taking measurements and video of the area. As part of his estimate he provided a short video describing the proposed solution and work to be done.. If you have any drainage related issues you need to call Drain My Lawn.. I will definitely be using them in the future and recommend them to anyone looking for drainage improvements and repairs.. See more See less
Nick and Ken are very knowledgeable. I used Drain My Lawn to fix an issue with my side and back yard that took a lot of hand digging stones. Great crew, polite, professional and hardworking! I would recommend them if you have any drainage issues. See more See less

Our project spanned 5 back yards, Drain My Lawn showed up on time and their crew worked hard each day to get the drainage system they designed, and we envisioned, installed quickly and efficiently. We couldn't be more pleased with this system. The surface runoff that ran through the middle of our back yards for the past 10 years is now channeled underground where it belongs. Couldn't reccomend them more highly. See more See less
Good to see there is still hard working folk still around helping out! From start to finish their crew was very thorough in explaining everything to me and did a great job. You can tell everyone is experienced, showed up on time and offered a fair price .I’ll be sure to send anyone I know your way for any projects. See more See less
We had major drainage issues in our backyard and met with Drain my lawn to help. They were easy to work with and the work was done in a timely manner. We are very happy with the results!! See more See less
Part of my yard had some minor drainage issues that I thought may be a problem with some future landscaping ideas. Ken drove a long way to get to my house. After seeing my situation, he gave me a very honest assessment that drainage work was probably not required. I really appreciated his integrity. See more See less
We moved in to our house about a year ago. Since then we have had running or standing water in the back yard due to rain. We contacted Nick at Drain My Lawn and he came out and came up with a plan to ease the water flow and drainage. We Just had our first down pour after there hard work and for the first time no standing water. I would highly recommend them! See more See less
Our HOA employed Drain My Lawn to repair a French drain behind one of our townhomes. They came out immediately to assess the issue and provided us detailed pictures and video of both the problem and potential solutions. They were just as timely and professional when we hired them for the job. They did the work and left the work area in excellent condition. We will definitely call them first whenever we have similar issues. Thank you to Ken and his team for their excellent work. See more See less
I'm glad I went with Drain My Lawn to help solve my standing water issue. Everyone I delt with there was friendly, professional, and quick to respond to any questions I had during the process. I had a lot of standing water around my home and the system they installed works great. I especially liked the detailed video and plan that was written up on what was going to be installed and how it would mitigate the excess water around my home. See more See less
From start to finish the team at Drain My Lawn were professionals, bringing concept to reality with superior craftsmanship, excellent communication, and realistic pricing. I was very impressed with the design phase of the project, which involved site visits, photos/videos, site mapping (useful for permits/HOA), and detailed estimates. Questions were answered before, during and after project completion. The project turned out even better than I anticipated and helped to solve serious water/drainage issues we were experiencing on our property. Highly recommend the team at Drain My Lawn!

We used Drain My Lawn for our back yard - Nick and team were very comprehensive and knowledgeable, and importantly great improved our water drainage. Highly responsive to questions. Would recommend and use again! See more See less
Drain My Lawn did a fantastic job in evaluating my problems, and determining the correct solution. Kenneth did my assessment and provided a very detailed video and drawing to explain the installation of my french drain. It has rained a LOT since installation, and there have been no more issues with water pooling in my front yard. The installers did a fabulous job in unbearable heat, and even had to tunnel under 2 sidewalks. I can't recommend these guys enough!! See more See less
Excellent experience from beginning to end! From the effort put into the estimate months ago, to the work put in on the job today, Drain My Lawn has been communicative, professional, and has done everything they said they would do. Their estimates were itemized in a clear-to-understand way and the costs were what you'd expect for reasonable quality. Typically, all you hope is that whomever you hire does the job you asked for well, but it's always an added benefit when they are also friendly and personable. That defines this team. We never had any concerns that they would cut corners or rush the job. The results back that up. Heck, as they were working, their expertise identified an issue with the neighbors lawn! Most people might have ignored it, but they kept us in the loop and educated us about many things. I don't expect to need their services again, as they took care of a ton of things for us and I am sure it is long lasting, but if we do, they will be our first call. They'll also be our recommendation for anyone who asks! See more See less
Nick came out and provided a thorough assessment and solution to our drainage issues. Everyone I dealt with was nice and professional. I ultimately did not move forward with the project, but would highly recommend Nick and his team. See more See less
Very professional, nice group of people to do great business with .they installed an fantastic system .I would recommend them 👌 See more See less
Nick came out to look at my drainage in back yard recently and he was very helpful and professional. Provided a quote promptly with very good detail and clear as to what would be completed. We've decided to hold off on our project for budgetary reasons and go in a different direction at this point - so we cannot judge the quality of actual work, but I would recommend you consider DML for your drainage projects (and they do gutter work too! ). See more See less
Drain My Yard recently completed extensive work installing drainage system(s) around our home and am pleased to give them my highest recommendation. From our first interaction, I found the team to be professional, knowledgeable very practical with their approach to finding the best way to resolve our problems. They created detailed plans including videos to explain and illustrate their recommendations and were able to execute on the project within the timeline and budget we agreed on. I found the members of the team to be communicative, hard working, polite, thoughtful in how they left things around our home, and the work they did was done extremely well. We have had several severe rains since the project completed and I am very pleased with the result. This team also have a gutter/roof drainage company Drain My Roof - who were involved in the project as well and I was equally pleased with their work. Both teams communicated thoroughly, showed great integrity and transparency in their pricing - even crediting me for materials they did not end up using on the job despite my agreement to pay at the beginning. If you need work on drainage issues whether roof / gutter drainage or yard drainage systems; make this team your first call! See more See less
Drain My Lawn performed a masterful job in ridding my front lawn of gathering water. I cannot recommend them more highly. Nick and his crew were diligent in their work and the results were as he explained in his bid presentation. Thanks Nick. See more See less

DML was great to work with on this project. They provided a video overview of the plan to include a video of the drains working during a rain storm. DML kept me informed on when my project would start and finished in a timely manner. I highly recommend DML ! See more See less
Kenneth is amazing! Before we signed our contract, Kenneth came to access, measure & change direction/plans more than once (thanks to HOA)- all willingly, sometimes short notice & always with his cool equipment (no other company measured like he did when we gathered quotes). Once the work began, the crew was friendly, informative, hard working & easy to chat with! We are completely satisfied with the major job (trench to bury all gutters to drain at street to aid in poorly graded backyard drainage issue). Highly recommend Drain My Yard Charlotte!

Incredible service! Great pricing and honest people. See more See less
It is not an overstatement to say that the guys at Drain My Lawn saved my yard. Having a house on the side of a hill is a challenge, but they clearly knew what they were doing. He made a plan, we agreed on the work, and they were in and out - including lawn repair - in 4 days. Now (5 months later) we have no pools, no washouts, and more grass. It's a great transformation. See more See less
Drain My Lawn did an excellent job in every way. Nick came out to inspect the issue, gave me several options, and worked with me on all concerns. They were on-time and did exactly what they proposed. I wouldn't hesitate to call them again. See more See less
I will echo the good reviews that have been posted so far for these guys. I really like the communication and prompt response I received. I submitted a request for appointment/call on Saturday and have already met with them by Monday evening. Nick came to my home and looked at the issue I'm having with mild erosion in my side yard. It's not a major issue but is large enough that I wanted to get a professional opinion on how to fix it. He could have easily sold me on a costly overkill solution but that didn't happen. Instead, Nick explained what was really causing the erosion and identified a few options that would help. Ultimately the solution won't require their services, but I will gladly recommend them to others and call on them if I have other issues in the future. See more See less
We talked to Nick on several occasions about flooding in our backyard. He was prompt, courteous and delivered reasonable estimates. We would hire his team if we had proceeded with this project! See more See less

Nick and his team did a great job! Showed up on time for the estimate and provided a detailed estimate with photos and video. He has a fine group of hard working young men working for him. They were extremely respectful and respectful of our property. I could not recommend this company more! Great work!!…..Eric See more See less
Nick assessed our backyard drainage issues and provided great insight on multiple ways, including a DIY option, to address our problems. Ultimately, we decided on trying out the DIY route after Nick’s honest take on the cost and scope of each option. I appreciate his willingness to educate us through out the process - definitely recommend if you’re considering any drainage work for your yard! See more See less
Evan and his two assistants made quick work of a drain pipe damaged by a tree root. See more See less
I worked with Kenneth to determine big picture issues with my lawns drainage. He was very thorough with his analysis and depiction of the issues, adding a video that articulated the issues, as well as giving me an itemized list of all the required materials. He was also very open to discussing and providing information for various DIY alternatives if you’re more inclined to do things yourself but need help getting started. A great experience See more See less
Awesome company to work!! Highly recommend. If there was 10 stars I would have hit it. See more See less
Nick and team were great. Helped us solve a challenging drainage issue. Communicative, on time, professional, and very careful to not disrupt areas of landscaping while bringing in heavy machinery. Great team to work with. See more See less
Nick was incredibly helpful. He provided us an estimate and listened to our concern on cost (he was in line with other estimates we received, but higher than we wanted to pay at the time). Instead of pushing us to make a decision, he suggested a DIY alternative that we implemented, which isn’t permanent, but it saved us a lot until we can get back to doing the job properly. I’d highly suggest working with Nick and his team because of how responsive and supportive they are of homeowner concerns. See more See less
Nick came out to diagnose my drainage issues, provided great documentation and came back again when we had more questions and potential problem areas before pulling the trigger. When we suggested to rip and replace an additional drain, Nick said while he could, it wouldn’t be cost effective and wouldn’t lead to a better outcome. That kind of honesty is refreshing, appreciated and unfortunately, somewhat rare. Trust trumps everything and Nick is trustworthy in how he runs his business. After placing a small deposit to get scheduled, the team actually started the work a week before they said they could. Nicks team was respectful of my property and expeditious in their work. Any issues were quickly addressed and I was never left waiting for a response. Highly communicative before, during and after the job. I’ve waited months for a large rain event to write this review and suffice it say, the drain system is working beautifully and as promised. See more See less
The installation of the drain system was done professionally and on schedule. What made a big impression was that the original quote was based on a quote for my neighbor's yard (due to my error), which was significantly higher. The company noted it when comparing addresses and used the correct quote for my yard. Good work and integrity to match! See more See less
Had them install a french drain at my house. Serious project and they knocked it out quick. Hard workers, good communicators. 10/10 would recommend. See more See less
My experience with Kenneth and Drain My Lawn was all positive. They responded right away when I called them. Kenneth examined my issues from all angles. We discussed when the water was staying and possible ways to alleviate the standing water and the problems it was causing in my home. I recommend this company if you are dealing with similar drainage headaches.! See more See less
Showed up on time. Communicated the job clearly. Finished in a timely manner. Hauled away the mess. Very professional. Time will tell on workmanship, but I have nothing but positive feedback. See more See less
When you are searching for the best products in the market for drainage systems, Nick and the team at Drain My Lawn are the place to go! I had a smooth and professional experience ordering and purchasing all the materials for my DIY project. They pulled my order and had it ready for me to pick-up when I needed it. Highly recommend you review their work on YouTube if you are having water issues. They use FDM products which will last a lifetime of your system and is worth the investment. See more See less
I was slated to install my driveway with-in two weeks time. However, there was an unforseen problem....Installing the driveway will block the the path of water drainage. There will be a very large holding cell of water that will sit against my house foundation and surround my deck posts and entry unto the deck. I reached out to Drain My lawn and Kenneth came out with-in one day of our phone conversation. He diffintely understood the ugergency. He made his assessment and sent me a veido explanation of what had to be done to correct my situation. As he stated, next day he forwarded me detailed cost estimate which included aerial veiw with all drainage features in place and named. I was impressed by the professionalism, patience to explain, attention to my concerns not to mention knowledgeable. The material they use are DOT specfied with copper tracing. Drainage oozes out of this company!! You will be happy and dry.... See more See less
Nick is professional, honest and so knowledgeable about yard drainage issues. Nick took the time to listen to our concerns and evaluated our yard. Upon doing so, he felt he could save us money by giving us some other ideals to improve our drainage issues without his help. I was so surprised how honest he was about his advice he gave and his follow through on recommendations! I highly recommend him for any of your drainage needs in your yard! See more See less
The work that Nick and his crew did was exemplary. They finished drainage work on what we agreed upon was Phase One, and even returned to make tweaks in their work after they were paid. Some months later I rehired them to complete Phase Two. This perhaps is the most telling fact, they did so well that I continued hiring them. Nick is easy to reach and affable, and I would unreservedly recommend them. See more See less

I had a great experience with Drain My Lawn! Kenneth is a great guy – honest, professional, and extremely informative. He took the time to explain everything in detail and answered all my questions. It’s rare to find someone who genuinely cares about doing the job right and not just making a quick buck. Highly recommend them for anyone needing drainage services. Will definitely call them again if I need help in the future! See more See less
I contacted Nick when I was having issues with water flooding into my home. I was very impressed with his knowledge and the detailed job he did assessing the issue. His recommended solution ended up being something that required repair by the DOT, but he did not try and push any other solutions on me. It was because of Nick that I was able to finally figure out what needed to be done after many others had offered no help. Now that the work has been completed by the DOT, I will be contacting Nick again to help with a separate drainage issue at my home and I recommend him to anyone with drainage issues. See more See less
great company. they took our drainage problem seriously and implemented a system to fix it quickly and meticulously. their customer service was top notch as well. See more See less
We contacted Nick to assess our yard for drainage problems causing issues with growing grass. After surveying the area and testing downspouts for water flow, he felt the drainage appeared to be working and gave us suggestions for further research. We will be following up on these. He was extremely knowledgeable and most professional and would not take compensation for his time. We would highly recommend his company See more See less
We bought a new house and after the very first rain it was clear we had a serious drainage problem which caused several thousand gallons of water to collect in the backyard (and took DAYS to drain), and the water got dangerously close to the crawl space. Nick came out and confirmed the problem, did a thorough assessment, and completed the job while we were on vacation. We returned home a few days after the work was completed, on the morning after a big downpour and the backyard was bone dry. They did a great job cleaning up the mess and even seeded the yard where they worked. We are impressed with the work and believe the price, although significant, was fair for the amount of work done. Highly recommended! See more See less
Great service! Nick came out and inspected my issue with poor drainage in my front yard near my front steps. He proposed his plan for a drain to me and gave me a very reasonable quote for the work. I agreed to the work and we called the city to have the yard marked to do the work. The city was slow to respond and Nick stepped in and escalated with the city and got that taken care of. As soon as the yard was marked, Nick was here within a few days and completed the job in 3 hours. Everything was done professionally and we have had no drainage issues at all since he did the work. I would highly recommend Drain My Lawn! Wayne McClellan See more See less
