Keeping Your Land High and Dry


Persistent standing water, soggy lawns, or flooding near your foundation? Crossed Arrow Earthworks provides expert yard drainage solutions in Murfreesboro, TN, designed to redirect water and preserve the integrity of your property. From custom French drains to precision ditch excavation, we bring military-grade discipline and local experience to every job. Your land stays dry, protected, and ready for whatever comes next.
Drainage Solutions We Deliver
French Drain Installation
French drains are one of the most effective ways to redirect groundwater and surface runoff away from your home. We install custom French drain systems designed for Murfreesboro’s clay-heavy soil and variable weather. Each trench is lined with gravel and fitted with perforated piping to create an underground channel that safely moves water away from foundations, crawl spaces, and low-lying areas. This discreet solution protects your yard while preventing erosion, pooling, and costly water damage long-term.
Road & Driveway Drainage
Driveways and private roads are highly vulnerable to standing water and erosion. Without proper drainage, you’ll face cracks, potholes, and long-term damage. Our team installs side drains, swales, and driveway culverts to redirect water runoff and maintain structural integrity. Whether you’re dealing with a gravel drive or paved road, we build efficient water flow systems that prevent pooling and eliminate soft spots. We make sure your drive stays dry, safe, and strong after every rainfall.
Culvert Placement
Culverts allow water to pass safely beneath roads, driveways, and pathways without damaging the surface. At Crossed Arrow Earthworks, we handle culvert installation with precise grading and soil compaction to ensure smooth, durable water flow. Whether you need a new culvert for access roads or a replacement for a collapsed pipe, we deliver fast, code-compliant service. Our team ensures correct sizing, material selection, and long-term functionality for reliable performance in Murfreesboro’s storm-prone conditions.
Ditch Excavation & Regrade
Ditches are essential for capturing runoff and guiding water away from your property. If your yard lacks proper grading or drainage swales, we provide expert ditch excavation and land reshaping. Using laser-level equipment and slope analysis, we design open channels that manage water naturally while preventing erosion and foundation issues. Whether starting from scratch or improving an existing ditch, we ensure smooth flow, clean cuts, and lasting results that keep your land dry and stable.
Why Dry Ground Matters
Protect Foundations & Roads
Excess water around your home or driveway doesn’t just look bad. It causes real damage. Poor drainage can lead to foundation cracks, shifting slabs, and driveway erosion that require costly repairs. Our yard drainage systems are designed to keep water away from structural areas, helping you avoid long-term issues like concrete settling and road deterioration. By keeping your foundation and pavement dry, you’re preserving the value, safety, and stability of your entire property.
Stop Erosion and Standing Water
Standing water and erosion are warning signs that your yard’s drainage isn’t working. These issues kill grass, invite mosquitoes, and strip away topsoil. Over time, erosion can lead to uneven ground, root exposure, and landscape instability. Our custom drainage solutions are built to stop water before it pools or washes away soil. From grading to French drains, we ensure your land stays intact, dry, and usable all year round, no matter how hard it rains in Murfreesboro.
Our Drainage Design and Build

Site Water-Flow Analysis
Every successful drainage project starts with understanding how water moves across your property. We conduct a thorough site analysis using laser levels and slope mapping to pinpoint low spots, runoff paths, and problem areas. Our team evaluates soil type, elevation, and grading to design a system that works with your land, not against it. This detailed approach ensures we address the root cause of your drainage issue and not just the symptoms.

Custom Drain System Build
Once we finalize the design, we build a drainage system that fits your property’s specific needs. Whether it’s a French drain, culvert, or ditch regrade, our veteran-led crew uses precision equipment and durable materials to ensure longevity and performance. Each system is carefully installed to preserve your landscaping, protect your structure, and improve water flow. The result is a drainage solution that blends function with a clean finish.

Final Flow Check & Cleanup
After installation, we perform a full water-flow test to ensure everything works exactly as designed. We walk the site, confirm grade lines, and make minor adjustments if needed. Our final step includes a complete site cleanup, leaving your yard neat, functional, and flood-free. You’re left with a dependable system that solves water issues without the mess.
