Frequently Asked Questions 

What causes standing water in my yard?

Standing water is usually caused by poor drainage, improper grading, compacted soil, or low areas that collect runoff after rain. Frey Soil Solutions LLC provides drainage correction and grading services in Lincoln, Nebraska to help redirect water and improve property drainage.

Can grading fix drainage problems?

Yes. Proper grading is one of the most effective ways to improve drainage and prevent water from pooling around homes, lawns, driveways, and buildings. We reshape and grade properties to help water flow away from problem areas.

What is erosion control?

Erosion control helps prevent soil from washing away due to rain, runoff, or poor drainage. Common erosion problems include washed out slopes, ditch erosion, exposed roots, and muddy runoff areas. We provide erosion repair and drainage solutions throughout southeast Nebraska.

How do I stop my yard from washing out?

Washouts are often caused by uncontrolled runoff and poor drainage. Solutions may include grading, drainage swales, culvert installation, erosion control, or reshaping the affected area to improve water flow.

What are signs of poor yard drainage?

Common signs include:

• Standing water after rain

• Muddy low spots

• Water near foundations

• Lawn erosion

• Washed out areas

• Soggy grass

• Drainage problems around driveways or culverts

Do I need a culvert for my driveway?

If water crosses underneath your driveway or access road, a properly installed culvert can help prevent washouts, flooding, and erosion damage. We install driveway culverts for residential and acreage properties in Lincoln and surrounding areas.
