Stop Washouts Before They Start

You watch the rain come down and worry about where the water will go—down your driveway, around your foundation, or straight through the freshly cleared land you just invested in. In Lumpkin, red clay doesn't absorb runoff the way sand does, so water moves fast and cuts deep if it's not directed properly. Southern Earth Land Services installs swales, culverts, and grading adjustments that guide runoff safely away from structures and vulnerable areas, and the sound of water trickling through a newly installed culvert is a relief compared to the roar of uncontrolled erosion.

This service addresses Georgia's steep clay slopes and low-lying areas that hold water longer than they should. Swales are shaped to slow and redirect flow, culverts are sized and placed to handle peak volume, and grading adjustments ensure water follows the path of least resistance without carving channels into your land. These installations are built to last through heavy spring rains and summer storms, protecting driveways, foundations, and cleared acreage from damage that would cost far more to repair than prevent.

Book a drainage evaluation now to protect your property before the next seasonal rainfall cycle begins.

The process starts with a thorough site evaluation. The team walks your property, identifies natural flow patterns, and pinpoints areas where water pools, erodes, or threatens structures.
