Is your lawn pooling up every time it rains? Is water pushing toward your foundation or drowning out your landscape beds? Look no further than Maco Landscape. Providing top-rated yard drainage solutions for residential & commercial clients throughout Franklin Lakes & many surrounding communities in Bergen and Passaic County.
Poor drainage is one of the most damaging and frustrating problems a property owner can deal with. Standing water doesn’t just kill your lawn and landscape beds, it threatens your foundation, creates ideal conditions for mosquitoes, and causes long-term damage to hardscape features and plantings that likely took years to establish.
Bergen and Passaic County properties face a specific set of drainage challenges. The region’s soil composition, combined with New Jersey’s seasonal rain patterns and four-season freeze-thaw cycles, creates conditions where water management needs to be taken seriously. At Maco Landscape, we assess each property individually and install solutions that address the root cause of the problem rather than masking the symptoms.

French drains are one of the most effective and versatile drainage solutions available for residential and commercial properties. These systems work beneath the surface of your landscape, intercepting water as it moves through the soil and redirecting it away from problem areas before it has a chance to pool around your foundation, saturate your lawn, or flood your landscape beds.
Our French drain installations are designed and built to perform for the long term. We calculate proper slope, depth, and positioning based on your property’s specific conditions, and we use professional-grade materials including perforated pipe and non-woven geotextile fabric that prevents clogging and keeps the system functioning the way it should year after year. Once installed, a French drain is completely hidden beneath the surface, solving your drainage problem without altering the appearance of your landscape.
A dry creek bed is a drainage solution that does double duty. During a rain event, it functions as an efficient channel that moves water away from your property in a controlled path, preventing erosion and directing runoff toward a safe discharge point. During dry periods, it serves as an attractive landscape feature that adds texture, visual interest, and a natural feel to your outdoor space.
We design each dry creek bed based on the specific drainage demands of your property, incorporating the right combination of river rock, boulders, and vegetation to create a feature that looks intentional and handles water effectively. For properties where a standard underground drainage solution isn’t the right fit, a well-designed dry creek bed is often the ideal answer.
Your roof sheds an enormous volume of water during even a moderate rain event, and if that water is depositing directly against your foundation, you have a concentrated drainage problem at the most vulnerable point of your home. Downspout extensions and leader drains both solve the same core problem by routing roof runoff away from your foundation and toward a safe discharge point, and the right solution depends on the specifics of your property and how far the water needs to travel.
For properties where a surface-level extension is sufficient, we install professional-grade downspout extensions that move water well beyond your foundation’s critical zone. For situations that call for a more complete solution, we connect your downspouts directly to underground leader drain piping that carries roof runoff through the ground to an appropriate outlet away from your home and landscape. For homeowners who want a clean finished appearance, concealed options are available that keep everything out of sight without sacrificing performance.
A dry well is an underground chamber designed to collect and slowly disperse water into the surrounding soil, reducing runoff volume and relieving pressure on other drainage systems on your property. They are particularly effective in areas where surface drainage isn’t practical and there is no convenient outlet to discharge water to. Dry wells can function as a standalone solution for moderate drainage challenges or be integrated with French drains and leader drains as part of a complete water management system. When your property needs to absorb water rather than redirect it, a properly sized and installed dry well is one of the most effective tools available.
