Artisan Contracting designs and installs complete drainage solutions - from foundation drain tile to yard regrading and everything in between - keeping your property dry and protected through BC rainfall.

With over 25 years of drainage experience and our own gravel supply and delivery in-house, Artisan Contracting designs and builds complete drainage systems – drain tile, catch basins, French drains, and grading correction – that move water away from your foundation, walls, and yard before it causes damage.

As part of the Artisan Garden Group, we handle everything from assessment to materials to installation under one roof, so you get a solution built to last.  

Artisan Contracting is a division of the Artisan Garden Group, and we’ve been designing and installing outdoor living spaces throughout the Lower Mainland for over 25 years. Drainage has always been a core part of that work — every yard, retaining wall, and hardscape we build is designed for long-term stability and performance, so the water underneath and around it is managed properly.

Our drainage work covers everything from perimeter drain tile that protects your home’s foundation, to French drains, catch basins, and dry creek beds that intercept surface water before it pools. We also correct poor grading so water flows toward the right collection points instead of settling in low spots, and we plan discharge lines so runoff is directed safely away from your property — with our own gravel and rock supplied and delivered as part of the job.

Excess water is one of the biggest threats to a healthy yard and a stable foundation — left unmanaged, it drowns lawns, rots root systems, erodes soil, and works its way into basements and crawl spaces. If you’re dealing with any of the following, it’s a sign your property needs a drainage assessment:
• Standing water or a spongy, water-logged lawn
• A damp or flooding basement
• Water pooling near your foundation, walls, patio and walkways
• Erosion or washouts on sloped areas
• Aging or failing perimeter drain tile
