Help water go where it's supposed to go.
Water always looks for the lowest point, and sometimes that ends up being your lawn, driveway, or the area right next to a building. Persistent wet spots make it hard to mow, use outdoor spaces, or keep foundations and slabs dry. If you are constantly dodging mud or water after every storm, there’s likely a drainage issue that needs attention.
Drain tile and other drainage improvements give excess water a controlled route to follow so it can leave your property instead of sitting where it causes problems.
We begin by walking your property to see how water currently moves and where it’s collecting. From there, Cournaya’s Land Enhancement recommends a practical mix of drain tile, surface drains, or grading changes that fit your site and budget. For drain tile, we set perforated pipe at the proper slope and surround it with the right materials so it stays functional.
Every property is different, so we focus on solutions that meaningfully improve your situation without overcomplicating the design.
Cournaya’s Land Enhancement provides services across much of Michigan’s Thumb and surrounding areas. We regularly work throughout Tuscola, Sanilac, Lapeer, and St. Clair counties and in many of the communities in and around those counties.
We stand behind the work we do. Our guarantee is simple: we will show up when we say we will, do the work we agreed to, and walk the job with you before we leave. If something reasonable needs to be addressed related to the work we just completed, we will talk it through and make a plan to make it right.
Outdoor work is always at the mercy of weather and existing site conditions, but we do not disappear when the equipment leaves. If you have concerns about the workmanship on a recent project, contact us. We will review the site, explain what we are seeing, and discuss any adjustments that may be appropriate based on the original scope of work.
If you’re done living with soggy ground, muddy areas, or water pooling where it doesn’t belong, it may be time for a drainage fix. Reach out to Cournaya’s Land Enhancement, and we’ll review your property, suggest a straightforward solution, and provide a clear estimate for getting the work done.
Every job starts with a conversation. You tell us what is going wrong, how you use the property, and what you would like to change. We ask questions, look at any photos you have, and when needed schedule a visit so we can see the ground in person.
On site, we walk the area with you, point out problem spots, and talk through options. We explain what we recommend, why we recommend it, and how it will be done so you understand the plan before any equipment moves.
On delivery day, we bring the material with trucks sized for your property and access. We place piles where you can easily reach them with equipment or wheelbarrows, or where we will be grading if we are handling the spreading.
After delivery, we are available to answer questions about how to spread, compact, or maintain the material. If you decide you would like help with grading or additional work after seeing it on site, we can talk about next steps and schedule follow-up services.
Drain tile can make a big difference when water is trapped in the soil or in low areas, but it’s not the only tool we use. In some situations, a combination of grading changes, surface drains, and drain tile works best. We’ll look at the root cause of your drainage issues and recommend the combination that makes the most sense for your property.
Drain tile needs a place to discharge, such as a lower area on your property, a drainage ditch, or another approved outlet. During the planning process, we’ll identify where water can safely go and design the system to move it there using gravity whenever possible.
We only excavate where we need to install pipe or adjust grades. Trenching and grading will disturb soil in those areas, but we’ll backfill and rough grade the work zones so they can be restored with grass or landscaping. Before we start, we’ll show you which parts of the yard will be affected.
Cournaya’s Land Enhancement is a family-run company that treats every property like our own. We focus on honest recommendations, practical solutions, and work that is built to handle real-world use, not just look good for a day. When you call us, you talk directly with the people who will be on your property, running the equipment and standing behind the results.
Our team is used to working on driveways, yards, fields, and rural properties across the area. We understand soft ground, standing water, and washed-out drives because we deal with them every season. That experience shows up in the way we plan each job and the small details that help your project hold up over time.
