# Channel Drain Installation

TL;DR

Channel drains (trench drains) for driveways, patios, and garage entries across the KC metro. We saw-cut the concrete, set a grated NDS channel on proper slope, tie it into a buried discharge line, and re-pour clean. Most driveway installs $1,500–$3,500; simple landscape runs from $800. Free quotes, 10-year workmanship warranty.

## What a channel drain solves

A channel drain intercepts water along a line instead of at a point — the fix when water crosses concrete in a sheet: driveways sloping to the garage, garage entries, patios pitched at the house, walkway low lines.

## What's included

- Clean saw-cut through the concrete
- NDS channel systems with removable grates for clean-out
- Channel bedded and sloped so water moves inside it
- Buried discharge line at laser-shot slope to daylight or a pop-up emitter
- Concrete re-poured and finished around the channel
- Photos before backfill and a hose flow-test before we leave

## Pricing

- Residential driveway channel drain: **$1,500–$3,500 installed** (cutting, channel, discharge line, re-pour)
- Simple landscape / paver-edge runs: **from $800**
- Pop-up emitter outlet: **$150–$300**
