Choose Your Starting Point
Start with the problem
you need solved
Charlotte homeowners come to CLT Pros for two reasons. Pick the one that fits your situation.
Fix drainage and grading problems
Standing water, runoff, erosion, soggy lawn, flooding near patios or pools, and water moving toward the house.
Charlotte’s clay-heavy soil and unpredictable rain make drainage one of the most critical investments for local homeowners. CLT Pros installs French drains, catch basins, grading systems, and stormwater solutions that fix the problem at the source — not just the surface.

“My French Drains are amazing and my yard and pool haven’t flooded since.”
— Shawnta M., Charlotte NC
Charlotte’s Yard Reality
Charlotte yards fail for predictable reasons
Charlotte-area homes deal with clay-heavy soil, slope challenges, runoff, hard rain, and drainage issues that cheap fixes do not solve. CLT Pros assesses how water moves across your property, then recommends the right mix of grading, drains, hardscaping, concrete, and landscape improvements to fix the issue at the source.
- French drains and catch basins sized for your lot and soil
- Regrading and slope correction for long-term drainage control
- Retaining walls that create usable, stable outdoor space
- Concrete and hardscape features that channel water correctly
- Turf and landscape finishing that don’t create new drainage failures
What You Get
What you get when the job is done right
The current site emphasizes beauty and functionality, local durability, on-time completion, and clean execution. Here’s what that looks like when it’s finished.
A yard that drains properly
No more standing water, washout, or recurring flooding in the same spots. Your yard works the way it should — after every rain.
An outdoor space you actually use
Patios, walkways, fire features, and usable levels that increase how the property functions and how much time you spend outside.
Cleaner execution, fewer surprises
Clear scope, realistic timelines, itemized quotes, and a final result that feels finished — not a job where something was left undone.
Materials built for local conditions
Projects designed for the Carolinas’ weather, soil movement, and day-to-day use — not generic contractor defaults that break down in two seasons.

Common Questions
Questions Charlotte homeowners
ask before starting
Real answers to the questions we hear most — so you can feel confident before the first call.
Paver patio costs in Charlotte typically range from $15–$35 per square foot installed, depending on paver material, pattern complexity, and site prep. A standard 400 sq ft patio runs $6,000–$14,000. CLT Pros provides free on-site estimates with transparent, itemized pricing — call (704) 778-6755 to schedule yours.
In most Charlotte-area municipalities, retaining walls over 4 feet in height require a building permit. Requirements vary by county — Mecklenburg, Union, and York County SC each have slightly different rules. CLT Pros can advise you on what’s required for your specific property during your free estimate.
The right solution depends on how water enters your yard, the slope of your property, and your soil type. For most Charlotte-area homes with clay soil, a French drain system combined with grading is the most effective fix. CLT Pros assesses your specific lot conditions before recommending anything — we don’t offer one-size-fits-all drainage.
Most residential projects are completed within 2–7 days depending on scope and complexity. CLT Pros provides a clear timeline during your free estimate and is consistently recognized in client reviews for on-time completion — rare in the Charlotte contractor market.
