— The ground here

What Bargersville actually does with water

Bargersville has the newest housing stock in Johnson County, with about 55.5% built since 2000 and the 2010s the biggest single decade. It is also growing fast, up roughly 17.7% in four years. So like Whitestown and Avon, this is mostly new ground: not much to repair, plenty to build, and drainage problems that come from grading and settlement rather than from failure.

The ground has more to it than Greenwood or Whiteland. Bargersville carries noticeably more slope, with Miami units at 6 to 12%, and more floodplain alluvium in the form of Genesee loam. That combination means erosion and washout work appears here in a way it does not in the flatter Johnson County towns, alongside the usual Crosby and Brookston flat-lot problems.

Bargersville drains west to the White River through the Stotts Creek and Bluff Creek systems, not to Youngs Creek like Franklin. The town runs its own electric, water and sewer utilities and its own MS4 stormwater department, with the largest ERU we found anywhere at 4,110 square feet. The town is also explicit about the boundary that matters most to a property owner: wet ponds, dry basins and underground systems are privately maintained by the individual property owner.

— How it works

Every Bargersville job starts the same way

Call or text us

Start with a call or a text to (317) 503-6782. Tell us what is going on in your own words. Water pools by the back door. The old driveway has to go. The yard slopes toward the house. You do not need the technical terms and you do not need a plan drawn up. If it is something we handle we will set a time to come look. If it is not, we will tell you that and point you somewhere better if we can.

We walk it with you

Casey comes out and looks at the actual site with you. This part matters more in dirt work than in almost any other trade. Two back yards that sound identical on the phone can be completely different once you see the slope, the access, the soil and where the water wants to go. Walking it together means you can point at the problem and we can talk through options on the spot, including options that cost you less than what you had in mind.

You get a free estimate by email

After the walkthrough we put the estimate together and email it to you, with the scope of work written out so you can see what is and is not included. It is free and there is no pressure attached. Take your time with it and compare it if you want to. Honest pricing only works if you have room to check it.

Free, in writing, with no obligation to move forward. A deposit reserves your spot on the schedule once you approve it.

— Questions

Questions we hear in Bargersville

Who maintains the basin on my property?

You do. Bargersville states it plainly: the stormwater fee funds public storm sewers within right-of-way and public easements, while wet ponds, dry basins and underground systems are privately maintained by the individual property owner. If a basin has silted in or stopped outletting, that is the owner's project.

Why do I have erosion when my neighbors in Greenwood do not?

Because Bargersville has more slope than Greenwood does. Miami units at 6 to 12% show up here in a way they do not in the flatter Johnson County towns, and slope means water gains velocity, which is what cuts channels and undermines edges.

My home is only a few years old. Why is the yard already a problem?

Settlement and change. Ground filled during construction keeps consolidating for a few years, and a shallow swale needs very little settlement to stop carrying. Add a patio, a pool or a fence and the route the lot was graded to use is no longer the route the water has.

Do you serve Bargersville?

Yes. Bargersville is in Johnson County, one of the four counties we work. We are based in Brownsburg, and Bargersville is regular territory.

How much will it cost?

There is no honest way to answer that without seeing the property, because the price is driven by where the water is coming from, how far it has to be carried and what it has to cross. The estimate is free, Casey walks it with you, and you get the scope in writing by email.
