The Alliance

First Coast French Drains was formed when two specialized contractors in Northeast Florida aligned their strengths and combined forces: Gutter Pro and Advanced Lawn & Garden.

Both companies were already NDS Certified Drainage Contractors with a passion for building high quality stormwater systems the right way — using over-engineered materials, proper grade, and filtration and clean-out access for simple maintenance.

Gutter Pro specialized in rooftop and foundation water management — seamless gutters, downspouts, filtration, downspout extensions and channel drains .

Advanced Lawn & Garden specialized in yard drainage design — grading, French drains, channel drains, sump pump & drywell systems, and advanced stormwater routing.

Working together on dozens of projects made one thing very clear:

Homeowners in the First Coast needed ONE contractor that could design and manage the entire water pathway — not separate companies that each handle one half of the problem without consideration for the other part .

OUR CORE PILLARS

Engineered to Save You Thousands
We exist to protect homes and businesses from the massive costs of water damage — by installing drainage systems built to last decades, not seasons.

Replace Every Piece of Corrugated — Forever
We don’t believe in cheap, flimsy black pipe. We upgrade every system we touch using Schedule 40/80 PVC or French Drain Man brand virgin HDPE — traffic-rated, root-resistant, crush-resistant.

Filtered at Every Stage
Our approach starts at the rooftop. We combine debris filtration, inline cleanouts, and sediment control before water ever enters the underground system — dramatically reducing clogs and extending the life of your entire system.

Camera Verified — No Guessing
We diagnose with drain cameras, not excuses. We can show you exactly what’s happening underground before and after installation, repair, or maintenance.

Built Like Infrastructure — Not Landscaping
French Drains, Channel Drains, Sump + Pump Systems — we design them using French Drain Man engineered materials and proper grade so they function like part of the home’s plumbing — not a band-aid buried in the yard.

Respect for Your Property
We treat your property like our own. We keep your landscape intact, fully clean our work zones, and leave your property in as great (or better) condition than when we arrived.

Transparent Options + Long-Term Maintenance Support
We give you multiple solution paths, cost clarity, and offer maintenance plans — so you can protect your investment long-term with minimal effort.
