The flattest ground of the twenty-seven towns we serve. Forty-nine feet of relief, and every drop of it drains to Big Walnut.
Lizton is the flattest place we work, and by a clear margin. Measured across an identical four by four mile box, Lizton comes in at 49 feet of relief against Brownsburg's 82 and Trafalgar's 252. There is essentially nowhere for water to fall to, which makes every drainage decision here about outlets and elevations rather than about pipe.
It is also on a divide, but not the way Danville is. Lizton sits on the White Lick and Big Walnut divide and drains entirely to Big Walnut, which puts it in the Eel basin, a different major watershed from its own county seat. That is worth knowing when a project involves a regulated drain or an outlet into a ditch rather than a storm system.
Lizton's housing is at the other end of the county's range from Avon. Around 40% predates 1940 and there has been essentially no new housing since about 2009. Old houses on very flat ground with no municipal stormwater program means most fixes are private, on the property, and have to work without a public system to hand the water to. Practically, that means culverts at the road, dry wells, sized basins and drainage runs measured in hundreds of feet rather than tens.
Entirely to Big Walnut Creek, in the Eel basin. A different major watershed from Danville and Brownsburg.
49 feet of relief over a 4x4 mile box, the flattest of the 27 towns we serve. Flatter than Brownsburg.
Around 40% predates 1940 and essentially nothing has been built since 2009.
Lizton is not an MS4. There is no municipal stormwater program, so drainage solutions here are private and have to stand on their own.
We do all nine services everywhere we work. These are the ones the ground in Lizton asks for first.
Our specialty. We find where the water is actually coming from, then build the system that moves it away for good.

You do not need the technical terms and you do not need a plan drawn up. If it is something we handle we will set a time to come look. If it is not, we will tell you that and point you somewhere better if we can.
Casey comes out and looks at the actual site with you. This part matters more in dirt work than in almost any other trade. Two back yards that sound identical on the phone can be completely different once you see the slope, the access, the soil and where the water wants to go. Walking it together means you can point at the problem and we can talk through options on the spot, including options that cost you less than what you had in mind.
After the walkthrough we put the estimate together and email it to you, with the scope of work written out so you can see what is and is not included. It is free and there is no pressure attached. Take your time with it and compare it if you want to. Honest pricing only works if you have room to check it.
Free, in writing, with no obligation to move forward. A deposit reserves your spot on the schedule once you approve it.

A legitimate outlet, a dry well, or a sized basin, depending on the elevations and how much water there is. On Lizton's ground it is almost always about finding the fall you have and using all of it, which is why we verify elevations before quoting rather than after.
Yes. Culvert installation and replacement is part of our drainage work, and out here it matters more than in town, because a failed culvert on flat ground backs water up across a property rather than just under the drive.
Sometimes. A lot of the older ground around Lizton was tiled, and where those lines are still open they can be a real asset. Where they have collapsed, they are frequently the reason a yard that drained fine for decades suddenly does not.
Yes. Lizton is in Hendricks County, one of the four counties we work. We are based in Brownsburg, and Lizton is regular territory.
There is no honest way to answer that without seeing the property, because the price is driven by where the water is coming from, how far it has to be carried and what it has to cross. The estimate is free, Casey walks it with you, and you get the scope in writing by email.
