Drainage & Erosion Control in Franklinton, NC
Smart Water Management for Carolina Soil
Runoff, Erosion & Clay Soil
Heavy clay holds moisture in winter, turns brick-hard by midsummer, and sends rainwater rushing downhill.
Whether you’re contending with a sloped backyard in Rolesville, tight HOA drainage specs in Wakefield, or lakeside washouts near Kerr Lake, Turfstone delivers custom solutions that stop erosion before it starts—and fix the foundation beneath your lawn.
Engineered Drainage with Native Smarts
Every yard needs a unique drainage plan—not just a trench and hope for the best.
Turfstone Outdoor Works blends soil science, grading expertise, and proven materials to install drainage and erosion systems that actually work across varied terrain.
