Standing water is the number one killer of driveways in MetroWest. It seeps in, freezes, and lifts the surface from underneath — and in winter it turns your slope into a skating rink.
If water is running toward your garage or foundation, that's not a paving problem. That's a grading problem, and paving over it just resets the clock.
What's included
On-site water assessment
We look at slope, roof runoff, street elevation, and where water actually goes during a storm — not just where the puddle sits.
Re-pitching and regrading
Problem sections rebuilt to a positive slope that carries water away from the house.
Trench drains and catch basins
Installed at garage aprons and low points, with grates rated for vehicle traffic.
Piping and legal discharge
Solid pipe runs and tie-ins routed to an appropriate outlet, sized for real storm volume.
Ice and freeze-thaw mitigation
Eliminating the standing water that becomes the ice sheet you salt every January.
Coordinated with your paving
Drainage is corrected before new asphalt or pavers go down, so the new surface actually lasts.
Is this the right fit for you?
- Water pooling mid-driveway or against the garage door
- Recurring winter ice sheets on a sloped driveway
- Basement or garage moisture after heavy rain
- Driveways that keep failing in the same spot

Questions we get asked
- Can drainage be fixed without replacing the whole driveway?
- Often yes. Many fixes are a section rebuild plus a trench drain, not a full tear-out. We scope the smallest fix that solves the cause.
- Do you install trench drains at garage doors?
- Yes — a vehicle-rated trench drain across the apron with piping to a proper outlet is the standard fix for water entering a garage.
- Will paving alone fix my puddle?
- Only if the pitch is corrected as part of the work. Resurfacing over the same grade usually reproduces the same puddle.
