Drainage Solutions for Rogersville and North Alabama Properties
At First Creek Land Services, we provide reliable drainage solutions that protect your property from standing water, erosion, and long-term structural damage. Serving Rogersville, Florence, and communities across North Alabama, we help homeowners, ranchers, and builders correct water flow issues before they become costly repairs.
Whether you’re dealing with yard flooding after every storm, erosion along a driveway, or soft ground near a building site, our team has the equipment and experience to design and install systems that work with your land — not against it. From grading and ditching to culverts and french drains, every project is built for performance, durability, and long-term protection.
Why Proper Drainage Matters
In our region, uneven terrain and clay-heavy soil make drainage one of the most important yet overlooked parts of property maintenance. When water can’t flow naturally, it pools near foundations, driveways, and low spots, leading to soil washouts, foundation cracks, or flooded yards.
At First Creek, we don’t offer one-size-fits-all fixes — we design systems tailored to your site’s layout, soil type, and water behavior. Our goal is to restore the natural balance of your land so water moves efficiently, soil stays intact, and your structures remain secure for years to come.
We handle everything from small residential drainage improvements to large-scale land management projects across Lauderdale and Limestone Counties.
Our Drainage Services Include:
Grading & Sloping – Adjusting the surface elevation of your property to redirect runoff safely away from buildings, driveways, and low areas.
French Drains & Trench Drains – Installing underground drain systems using gravel and perforated piping to capture and redirect groundwater efficiently.
Culvert Installation – Placing steel or plastic culvert pipes beneath driveways, roads, and ditches to manage water flow and prevent washouts.
Ditching & Swales – Creating open channels that move water off your property in a controlled, erosion-resistant way.
Erosion Control Measures – Installing riprap, matting, or vegetation to stabilize soil and protect slopes or embankments.
Driveway & Roadside Drainage – Regrading and piping to prevent water from undermining access roads or driveways during heavy rainfall.
Each service is customized to your property’s needs. We start with a full site assessment to identify the source of the drainage issue, evaluate slope direction, and measure runoff volume. Then we build a long-term solution that fits your land and your budget.
A Smarter Approach to Drainage
Fixing drainage problems isn’t just about moving water — it’s about understanding how soil, slope, and rainfall interact. Our team uses years of local experience to analyze how water naturally flows across your property and then designs a system that complements that movement rather than fighting it.
Whether we’re reshaping the land for better runoff or installing underground piping, every project begins with a clear plan that minimizes disturbance while maximizing results. We aim to deliver a drainage solution that not only works immediately but continues protecting your property season after season.
Our approach also emphasizes environmental responsibility. Instead of pushing water off your property into a neighbor’s yard, we engineer systems that slow runoff and reduce erosion through natural absorption zones, vegetation buffers, or controlled outflows.

Our Proven Drainage Process
A successful drainage project starts with precision planning and ends with long-term performance. Here’s how we get it done:
1. Site Evaluation & Water Mapping – We assess your property’s topography, existing runoff paths, and problem areas to identify the root cause of water issues.
2. Solution Design – Based on our findings, we propose a tailored plan that may include regrading, drains, or culverts — with a clear timeline and estimate.
3. Excavation & Installation – Using our excavators and skid steers, we install the drainage system with exact slope control and proper backfill for durability.
4. Erosion Control & Finishing – We stabilize soil using rock, matting, or seeding to prevent future erosion and restore a clean, finished look to your land.
5. Final Inspection & Testing – Before wrapping up, we test flow paths, check outlets, and walk the site with you to ensure everything drains as intended.
