Drainworks showed up unannounced on 30 March to work on replacing the drain. My wife was home and watched them. It took the workers 1.5 hours to complete the job. They did a nice job pulling up the sod and laying the new PVC drain pipe. They replaced the sod but not well. (in fact, I later...

I thought that it was a malfunction in the equipment. It turns out that Jefferson Township wasn't keeping its drainage system cleaned out, and with all the rain that we've had recently, the township drainage system became clogged. The service person checked the sump pump and determined that...

If you need exterior drain service, this company is top notch. I called on a Monday and had a call back then an appointment on Friday March 20. Jeff walked with me to see all 9 drains plus sump pump exit. I was concerned that the pipe from the sump bump to the drain location was broken. ...

This was a perfectly wonderful experience. I called with a problem with the kitchen sink. They told me of a couple things I could try to see if I could avoid a service call. I tried them later that day, and I didn't have any luck. They called me back the next day to check on things. I...

He was on time, got right to work, and didn't make a mess. He did not try to sell me any specialty drain cleaners. I liked that. I have had Roto Rooter and Rescue Rooter before and they try to sell you chemicals.

PAUL CONTACTED ME IMMEDIATELY UPON REQUEST. HE CAME OUT THE NEXT DAY AND TOLD ME WE REALLY DIDN'T HAVE MUCH OF A PROBLEM, PROBABLY MOSTLY COSMETIC. HE WALKED AROUND THE OUTSIDE OF OUR HOUSE WITH ME AND MADE SOME SUGGESTIONS REGARDING THE SLOPE OF THE LANDSCAPING AND TOLD ME TO INSTALL A...

Southern Grove Landscaping
Southern Grove Landscaping
Why work with us? Southern Grove Landscaping was established nineteen years ago, in 1986, by a graduate from Ohio State University who studied in depth what it takes to achieve perfection in your landscape surroundings. Award-winning landscapes do not just look good for one season -- an excellent landscape should transcend the season with plants chosen for our Ohio climate and accents of stonework and design variation that command attention. That's our specialty. While everyone thinks about flowers in the spring and mowing the grass in the summer, your yard needs special attention throughout the year: during the winter delicate plants should be wrapped or transferred inside; in the spring the landscaping always needs extra special care to make sure the plants and lawn start the year off right. Summer heat means that proper watering and fertilization are important to keep plants healthy, whereas in the fall, trees and shrubs begin to go dormant, so transplantation then preven ts shock to the plant and helps to ensure healthy new growth in the spring. We are pleased to announce our nineteenth anniversary of making Columbus and surrounding areas beautiful. We're humbled by the positive response we've had from our clients and we hope to make many more beautiful landscapes for you and your families to enjoy. Give us a call and we will meet with you for a free consultation at your convenience. ASSOCIATION Better Business Bureau
"Excellent! They were done in 3 days, and it looks wonderful. A little slow with communication and scheduling in the beginning, but remained professional and did a great job. I have recommended them several times to other neighbors and friends."

"Jesse Moore and his team are frankly amazing. I wish they did more than build patios and related work as I would hire them for everything. Quality people do quality work and are willing to adjust to meet the needs of the homeowner. This is the 3rd time I have personally used Moore Brothers for a patio. Each experience is better than the prior. We always seem to run into something unexpected. That is part of the process with large projects like a patio. What I always appreciate is their "we are here to make the customer happy" approach. This project was no different, and they made me more than happy. They communicate, they show up when they say, and they deliver a quality product with smiles on their faces. Finally, I trust that team at my home - even when I cannot be present. That is a testament to Jesse's hiring and the quality people with whom he surrounds himself. THANKS for another great experience."

FAQs for french drain service projects in Lockbourne, OH
Landscapers typically charge $25 to $50 per person per hour, which equals around $50 to $100 per hour for a two-person crew. These rates can vary depending on your location, the size of staff needed for the job, and overall job type. For example, a larger crew will be needed for structural additions and hardscaping versus planting flowers.
When it comes to landscapers, licensing laws vary. Landscaping architects are required to be licensed in all 50 states, whereas traditional landscaping contractors are not typically required to hold a certification. You’ll likely be working with a landscaping contractor for most residential projects. If you are redesigning your whole yard or adding in hardscape features, you will work with a landscaping architect at some point during the project. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local landscaper guidelines.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
The cost to install a drain pipe is $600 on average, but the total can range between $150 and $2,000. Some cost factors that influence your project price include the type of drain, the area’s accessibility, the proximity of existing drain lines, and whether you’re installing a new drain or replacing an old one. Replacing the p-trap or s-trap under a single fixture will usually cost around $150, while replacing a main drain pipe can cost well over $2,000.
Yes, most states require plumbers to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed plumber could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.

We highly recommend leaving the work of replacing drain pipes to a professional plumber. Drain pipes are a key part of your plumbing system, and making mistakes during the installation or even using the wrong size pipes for your specific fixture can lead to an elevated risk of leaks and clogs. Additionally, drain pipes prevent harmful sewer gas from entering your home, so hiring a professional plumber is essential to keeping the risk of leaks and clogs low and avoid reducing your indoor air quality.
