Swale Installation in West Chester, PA

JHL Drainage Solutions serves West Chester and Chester County homeowners with site-specific drainage solutions from our West Chester office.

A swale is a graded drainage channel that manages surface water runoff across West Chester properties — directing water to a safe discharge point while allowing gradual infiltration and filtering sediment. JHL Drainage Solutions designs and installs grass swales and dry creek bed swales for Chester County properties.

Well-designed swales follow natural contour lines and use appropriate grade for controlled flow. Grass swales are seeded with erosion-resistant turf. Dry creek bed swales use natural stone for a decorative alternative. Both solve the same drainage problem with different aesthetics.

JHL Drainage Solutions provides free site assessments for West Chester and all of Chester County. Call (610) 590-7482 to schedule.
