Grading & Drainage

Where Water Goes on Your Cheyenne Property Matters
Water that pools near your foundation, your barn, or your driveway causes damage every season. Cheyenne's clay soil does not absorb water well, so surface drainage is critical. Poor grading on a new build means water flows toward the structure instead of away from it. Fixing drainage after the building is up costs significantly more than doing it right during construction.
Why Does Proper Grading Matter on Cheyenne Clay Soil?
Cheyenne sits on clay soil that holds water instead of absorbing it. Poor grading sends that water toward your foundation, driveway, and outbuildings. Freeze-thaw cycles then crack concrete and shift structures. Proper grading directs water away from every structure and prevents the standing water that damages Wyoming properties. We evaluate your existing slope and flow patterns.
