914 Yard Drainage & French Drains in Armonk & North Castle, NY
Armonk (Town of North Castle) skews newer than the coastal villages: the typical home was built around 1989, though 43% still pre-date 1980. On large wooded lots, drainage and grading often matter more than the basement wall itself. Larger Westchester properties often have slopes, ledge, retaining walls and mature landscaping, which affect how and where water can be moved. Ask a drainage contractor where the water will go, whether any neighboring property or municipal system is involved, and whether a permit is required for the work.

Do I need a French drain or just better grading?
If water pools near the foundation after rain, regrading and downspout extensions are the cheapest first step. A French drain helps where grading alone cannot move the water.
Where should downspouts discharge?
Well away from the foundation, onto ground that slopes away, or into a buried line that outlets downhill. Water dumped next to the house can soak back to the footing.
