Drainage and Landscaping in Greenville, SC From One Family-Owned Crew
C&C Outdoor Solutions handles drainage and landscaping in Greenville, SC and the towns around it, from a soggy backyard to a full outdoor living space. Our team brings over 25 years of experience in stormwater management, landscaping and hardscape construction to every job. That mix matters, because water decides how long a patio, a wall or a lawn will last.
Most outdoor problems start with grade and runoff. A patio poured without a plan for water can crack, a wall built without drainage can lean, and a new lawn can wash out after the first hard rain. We look at where the water comes from and where it needs to go before we design anything.
Based in Simpsonville, we work for homeowners and businesses across Greenville, Spartanburg and Anderson. Every estimate is free, and every project gets the same careful attention, whether it is a simple lawn care visit or a complex drainage installation.
Water and Soil
Drainage and Erosion Control Across the Upstate
Stormwater and erosion control are the heart of our work. Every job in this group starts with the same question: where does the water go when it rains hard? From French drains and catch basins to grading, culverts, pond construction and riverbank repair, the goal is to move water off your property safely and keep your soil where it belongs.
Much of this work happens underground, where it is easy to cut corners. We set pipe at the right fall, wrap drains in fabric and stone so they do not clog with silt, and tie every outlet to a spot that can safely take the flow.

Stone, Pavers and Plants
Hardscaping and Landscaping for Upstate Homes
Patios, walkways, driveways and retaining walls change how a yard works, and they last longest when they are built on a solid, well-drained base. We pair that hardscape construction with landscape design, sod, mulch, lighting and water features, so the stone and the planting read as one finished outdoor space.
Homeowners usually come to us with one goal, such as a place to grill or a way to use a steep backyard. We help shape that goal into a plan that fits the slope, the soil and the way your family actually spends time outside.

Patio Installation
Paver and concrete patios planned around how you use your yard, set on a compacted base and sloped to carry rain away from your home.

Retaining Walls
Block retaining walls that turn steep, washing slopes into level, usable ground, built with the base and drainage that keep a wall standing straight.

Paver driveways and walkways laid over a deep, compacted base so they handle cars, foot traffic and heavy Upstate rain without rutting or sinking.

Stopping Standing Water and Washouts at the Source
Standing water, a muddy low spot or a gully cut across the lawn are all signs that water is moving the wrong way. Where a yard has clay soil, the ground drains slowly and cannot take in a heavy rain quickly, so runoff collects or races downhill and carries soil with it. Left alone, it can reach a foundation, a crawl space or a neighbor's yard.
We match the fix to the cause instead of guessing. Soggy turf often calls for French drain installation, bare slopes for erosion control with silt fence, riprap and hydroseeding, low spots for grading and excavation, and larger sites for stormwater management. Signs worth a call include:
- Puddles and soggy turf that stay for days after rain
- Downspouts that dump water against the house
- Slopes and banks losing soil after every storm
- Mulch, gravel or soil washed onto walks and driveways
- A damp crawl space or water stains along the foundation
Patios, Retaining Walls and Outdoor Living Spaces
A good patio or wall starts below the surface. Our patio installation work covers paver patios and concrete patios, each set on a compacted base with a slight slope so rain runs off instead of pooling at the back door. The same attention to the base goes into paver walkways and driveways.
On a sloped lot, retaining wall installation can turn an unusable hillside into level ground for a patio, a garden or a play area. We plan each wall with drainage behind it, because water pressure is what pushes most failing walls out of line.
Many clients combine the two: a wall to create the space, a patio to use it, and landscaping and lighting to finish it. Planning them together saves digging twice and keeps the whole yard draining the way it should.

How We Work, From First Visit to Final Walkthrough
Every project follows the same steps, whether it is a single French drain or a full backyard build. You always know what is being done, why it is being done and roughly how long it will take.
-
Step 1
Free Site Visit and Estimate
We walk the property with you, look at the slope, the soil and where water goes in a storm, and listen to what you want from the space. You get a free estimate based on the actual site.
-
Step 2
A Clear Plan and Schedule
Before work starts, you get the scope, the materials and an estimated schedule. Small jobs often take a few days, and larger projects can take several weeks.
-
Step 3
Careful Construction
Our crew handles the excavation, grading, base preparation and installation, keeping drainage in mind at every stage so the finished work holds up through years of Upstate weather.
-
Step 4
Final Walkthrough
When the work is done, we walk the finished project with you, explain how the drainage works and answer any questions about caring for your new lawn, plants or hardscape.
Built to Last With Sustainable Materials and Methods
Our commitment is to quality and sustainability. That means work that solves the problem you called about and also makes your outdoor space more useful and better looking. It also means choosing materials and methods that give long-term results while staying mindful of the environment.
In practice, that shows up in the details. Keeping soil on site with erosion control protects nearby creeks and storm drains. Moving water with grading and buried pipe, instead of simply pushing it next door, protects your neighbors too. Healthy sod, mulch and planting beds help the ground absorb rain where it falls.
The same standard applies to all of our drainage and landscaping in Greenville, SC and beyond, from a simple lawn care task to a complex drainage installation. See examples of our work in the project gallery, or read our story to learn more about the family behind the business.

Drainage and Landscape Questions Homeowners Ask First
Can one company handle both drainage and landscaping on my project?
Yes. C&C Outdoor Solutions plans drainage, grading, hardscape and planting together, so the patio, the wall and the lawn all work with the way water moves across your yard. Handling it as one project avoids digging up new landscaping later to fix a drainage problem, and it keeps one team responsible for how the finished space performs in heavy rain.
Do you charge for estimates?
No. Estimates are free on all of our services, from French drains and erosion control to patios, retaining walls and lawn care. We visit the property, look at the slope and the drainage, talk through what you want, and then give you a clear estimate with the scope of work and an estimated schedule before anything begins.
Do you work for businesses as well as homeowners?
Yes. Most of our projects are at homes, but we also take on commercial work such as stormwater management, grading, erosion control and hardscape for business properties. The approach is the same in both cases: understand how water moves across the site, fix the cause of the problem, and build work that holds up for the long term.
What is the difference between hardscaping and landscaping?
Hardscaping is the built part of an outdoor space: patios, pavers, concrete, walkways, driveways and retaining walls. Landscaping is the living part: plants, sod, mulch beds, decorative rock and the design that ties them together. The best results come from planning both at once, with drainage built into the base of every hard surface and the grade around every bed.
How long does a typical outdoor project take?
Smaller jobs such as a short French drain or a mulch and rock bed often take a few days. Larger projects, like a retaining wall with a new patio or a full drainage system, can take several weeks. Weather and site access play a part, so we give you an estimated schedule up front and keep you informed as the work moves along.
