Expert drainage engineering, precision grading, and complete soil health services — the technical foundation every great California lawn needs to thrive long-term.
Fast turnaround · Competitive rates · Pro crew
Technical soil and drainage services that protect your investment and keep landscapes performing beautifully season after season.
Most lawn companies skip the hard part — the ground beneath your feet. We specialize in the technical work others won't touch: drainage systems, grading corrections, soil diagnostics. Because a beautiful lawn starts three inches underground.
"Soil health is the single biggest predictor of whether a lawn thrives or fails. Everything else is cosmetic."
— Founder, IAG ServicesInstallingArtificialGrass was founded by drainage engineers who kept arriving at properties ruined by bad soil prep. We saw installation after installation fail — not because the grass was wrong, but because the foundation beneath it was ignored.
We built our company around the part every other crew skips. Our teams are trained specifically in hydrology, soil composition and grading — not just landscaping. That difference shows up years later when your lawn still looks flawless.
Our backyard flooded every storm for five years. IAG installed a French drain in one day and we haven't had standing water since. Worth every penny — the crew was also incredibly professional.
I had three companies look at my grading problem and none of them really understood the hydrology. IAG's team explained exactly why my lawn was sinking and fixed it properly with a re-grade.
Roots from my neighbour's tree had cracked my irrigation pipes twice. IAG installed a root barrier that solved it permanently. The work was clean, quick and exactly as quoted.

Call Us NowIf you notice standing water after rain, soft or soggy patches in your lawn, water pooling near your foundation, or soil that never fully dries out, these are strong indicators of drainage failure.
Our assessments cover a full drainage evaluation (slope, pooling, runoff direction), a basic soil composition check, identification of root intrusion or disease symptoms, and a written summary.
A typical residential French drain takes one to two days depending on length and complexity. We handle excavation, gravel bed, perforated pipe, filter fabric and surface restoration.
