The most valuable and least visible work we do. Water in the wrong place destroys everything above it.

One licensed general contractor, start to finish. Transit & Flow is licensed, bonded, and insured, and we self-perform across every division on this site. That means no handoff between a designer, an installer, and a repair crew from three different companies. One estimate, one schedule, one account manager, one warranty. If something needs to be corrected, there is exactly one number to call.

How the work runs

Design consultation and site analysis. We evaluate grade, drainage, soil, sun exposure, and existing conditions, then produce a design with a real budget attached before anything is ordered.
Drainage and grading first. Water is addressed before hardscape is placed. Regrading, drain tile, dry wells, and downspout extension come first because everything else sits on top of them.
Hardscape construction. Patios, walls, and walkways are built on a compacted aggregate base to the correct depth, with proper base drainage and geogrid reinforcement where the wall height requires it.
Planting and softscape. Plants are selected for Central Ohio hardiness and for the actual light and moisture of each bed, installed with amended soil, and mulched to the correct depth.
Lighting, irrigation, and walkthrough. Low-voltage lighting and irrigation are installed and commissioned, the site is cleaned, and we walk the space with you and hand off a care schedule.

Why Transit & Flow for drainage and grading

We are a licensed general contractor, which means the same company that designs your outdoor space also pours the concrete, runs the electrical for the lighting, sets the gas line for the fire feature, and repairs the downspout that was flooding the bed. Landscape companies subcontract all of that. We do not, so the schedule holds and the warranty is ours.

We are a licensed general contractor, not a single-trade specialist, which matters more on this kind of work than most homeowners realize. When the project uncovers a problem in another trade, and it often does, we already have the licensed crew to solve it instead of stopping the job while you find someone. One schedule, one accountable contractor, one warranty.

Frequently asked questions

How much does drainage and grading cost in Central Ohio?

Pricing depends on size, material selection, site conditions, and access. We measure on site and give you an itemized written price before anything begins. Call (614) 382-0000 for a free estimate.

How long does drainage and grading take?

Most projects in this category run from one day to two weeks on site, depending on scope, material lead time, and weather. You get a scheduled start and a written completion window before we begin.

Do you pull permits for this work?

Where the jurisdiction requires a permit, yes. We produce the drawings, pull the permit, schedule inspections, and carry it through final approval as part of the project.

Is the work warrantied?

Yes. Every Transit & Flow project carries a written workmanship warranty on top of the manufacturer warranty on materials. Because we self-perform, one company stands behind both.

Do you offer financing?

Yes. Financing options are available on qualifying projects. Ask when you call (614) 382-0000 and we will walk you through the terms before you commit to anything.
