Keep Water Moving — Protect Your Shelbyville Property From Standing Water
Standing water around your home or business in Shelbyville, TN can lead to erosion, landscaping damage, foundation issues, soggy lawns, and costly long-term problems. When your property needs effective drainage solutions — from surface water management to underground pipe systems — Bobo Construction Management provides tailored drain installation and excavation services designed for local soil conditions and Middle Tennessee weather patterns.
Whether you’re battling water accumulation after heavy rain or preparing your site for construction, our experienced team brings the right equipment, planning, and execution to every job.
Every property is different — and in Shelbyville, a one-size-fits-all approach to drainage doesn’t work. We assess your land’s slope, grade, soil type, and existing water flow to determine the most effective solution. Our services in Shelbyville include:
French Drain Installation
French drains are versatile, buried systems that collect and redirect groundwater away from problem areas. We install perforated pipes in gravel-filled trenches beneath the surface, creating a hidden system that quietly manages water without disrupting your yard’s appearance.
Surface Drain Systems
For areas where runoff gathers across lawns, driveways, or walkways, surface drains help capture water before it can pool. These systems work with grading and trenching to keep water moving toward appropriate outlets.
Grading & Slope Management
Proper grading is the foundation of good drainage. Our team reshapes and grades your land to encourage natural runoff toward safe discharge points, reducing pressure on drainage pipes and hardscape features.
Driveway & Yard Drain Improvements
Water that runs downhill or across paved surfaces can damage concrete, gravel, and asphalt surfaces over time. We provide solutions that divert water away from vulnerable areas, preserving property and improving usability.

How Our Drain Excavation Services Work
We start every project by evaluating your drainage issues in Shelbyville — pinpointing trouble spots, mapping out water flow, and designing a tailored system. Excavation work includes trenching for pipes, removing problematic soil, and preparing routes so water can be redirected efficiently.
Once trenches are dug to the correct depth and slope, we:
● Lay drainage pipe and bedding gravel
● Install filter fabric to prevent clogging
● Tie into existing channels or create new outlets
● Backfill and compact soil
● Finish grading so water flows as intended
This complete approach helps prevent future pooling and keeps your landscape healthy and stable.
Why Proper Drainage Matters in Shelbyville
Shelbyville’s clay-rich soils and varied terrain can hold water after rain, creating soggy conditions that lead to:
● Landscape washouts
● Basement seepage or foundation stress
● Soft spots in lawns and driveways
● Mosquito breeding areas
● Erosion around structures or garden beds
A professionally installed drainage system protects your investment and improves long-term property health.
