Real mapped floodway inside the city limits, eight receiving streams in five watersheds, and a $5 per month stormwater fee on a 2,800 square foot ERU.
Greenwood is drained by eight receiving streams sitting in five different watersheds, and it straddles a divide: Pleasant Run and Honey Creek head for the White River while Grassy Creek and Hurricane Creek go to Youngs Creek and the East Fork. Two Greenwood properties on opposite sides of town are in different major basins. It also has real mapped floodway inside the city limits, not just fringe, which is unusual for a suburb this size.
The city runs a serious stormwater program. The fee is $5.00 per month per ERU on a 2,800 square foot ERU, all residential properties assigned one. Its 2024 Technical Standards Manual sets allowable release rates at 0.1 cfs per acre for 0 to 10 year storms and 0.3 cfs per acre for 11 to 100 year storms, with a drainage plan required for any development disturbing an acre or more. If a project is large enough to need detention, those are the numbers it will be designed to.
The housing is suburban and recent: the 2000s were the biggest decade, about 43.5% was built between 1990 and 2009, and only 2.7% predates 1950. Soils are Crosby and Brookston heavily reworked into urban land complexes, which is the same story as Avon. New enough not to be failing, wet enough not to drain on its own, and changed enough since grading that the water has usually found somewhere new to go.
On a divide. Pleasant Run and Honey Creek to the White River, Grassy Creek and Hurricane Creek to Youngs Creek and the East Fork. Eight receiving streams in five watersheds.
116 feet of relief. Crosby and Brookston, both heavily reworked into urban land complexes. Brookston is poorly drained and hydric-rated.

MS4 with its own program. Fee is $5.00/month per 2,800 sq ft ERU. Release rates 0.1 cfs/acre for 0-10 year storms, 0.3 cfs/acre for 11-100 year. Drainage plan required at one acre of disturbance.
We do all nine services everywhere we work. These are the ones the ground in Greenwood asks for first.
Our specialty. We find where the water is actually coming from, then build the system that moves it away for good.
See the work →We take the old concrete out and pour the new. Driveways, sidewalks, patios, aprons, steps, garage floors and pads.
See the work →Site clearing, grading, building pads and trenching for residential, commercial and new construction.
See the work →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.
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.
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.

Greenwood has genuinely mapped floodway inside the city limits, so it is a real question here rather than a formality. It is worth checking before planning anything that changes grade or adds impervious area, and it changes what a design has to account for.
Greenwood requires a stormwater management permit and drainage plan for development or redevelopment disturbing one acre or more. Most residential drainage work sits well under that, but site work on a larger property can cross it, and we would tell you before you were surprised by it.
In most cases the property owner or the HOA rather than the city. Municipalities in this area consistently draw the line at public right-of-way and public easements, with private basins and ponds left to the owner. It is worth knowing before a basin needs work.
Yes. Greenwood is in Johnson County, one of the four counties we work. We are based in Brownsburg, and Greenwood is regular territory.
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.
