At Green Drainage Design & Consulting, we specialize in resolving drainage challenges and creating functional, eco‑conscious garden spaces in Memphis. Choose between three tailored consults:

  • Basic Drainage Consultation – focused on identifying and repairing standing water, grading issues, and gutter/downspout performance ($150/hr)

  • Basic Garden Consultation – centered on assessing sunlight, soil quality, planting patterns, and recommending native or edible species ($150/hr)

  • Integrated Garden & Drainage Consultation – combines both approaches in a single visit for a comprehensive site plan ($200 flat)

Our mission is to help you reclaim soggy yards and transform them into thriving, rain‑fed landscapes rooted in permaculture principles. Whether it's diagnosing issues or designing sustainable beauty, our consults empower you with practical, ecological solutions—backed by permaculture training and a deep respect for the land.
