Trenching & Water Conveyance
Cuts, crossings, culvert interfaces, drainage routes, and utility-adjacent earthwork performed around access constraints and the approved design intent.
Erosion & Soil Protection
Riprap, retaining details, stabilization, erosion protection, and soil-retention work selected and executed for the site’s grade, exposure, and approved requirements.
Clearing & Selective Demolition
Vegetation clearing, concrete removal, structure or site-feature demolition, debris handling, and the preparation needed before corrective or replacement work begins.

Phasing around residents, guests, deliveries, parking, landscaping, irrigation, temporary routes, safety boundaries, and the finish condition expected after heavy work leaves.
Bonita Springs property reality
The water problem and the finish problem are usually connected.
A drainage repair can cross finished landscaping, irrigation, drive access, common areas, parking, utilities, and occupied spaces. We define the heavy-work path and the intended handoff before excavation starts so protection, access, cleanup, and restoration are not treated as afterthoughts.

Water-first site review
01
Where is the water coming from?
Document rainfall flow, neighboring grades, roof or hardscape discharge, existing systems, low points, and visible failure patterns without assuming one symptom explains the whole site.
02
Where can it move safely?
Coordinate the field scope with approved plans, elevations, property constraints, existing utilities, access, receiving conditions, and the appropriate licensed design or authority decisions.
03
How does the site get restored?
Plan excavation, protection, staging, temporary access, backfill, grading, cleanup, and the handoff to concrete, landscape, irrigation, paving, or other finish trades.
Drainage questions
Before the next heavy rain exposes it again.
What drainage work do you perform in Bonita Springs?
Sneaky Hippo supports approved scopes involving trenching, culverts, drainage routes, ponds, corrective grading, erosion protection, backflow-related site work, and site preparation for residential, HOA, builder, property-management, and commercial projects.
Can you determine why water is collecting on a property?
We can perform an operator-led field review, document visible conditions, identify likely site-work dependencies, and help define the execution questions. Survey, engineering, permitting, environmental, and authority decisions remain with the appropriate licensed professionals and agencies.
Can the work be phased around residents or an operating property?
Yes, when the scope and site allow it. We plan work zones, temporary access, equipment paths, staging, parking impacts, safety boundaries, and restoration around the people and operations that need to remain active.
Do you handle grading and restoration after drainage excavation?
Yes. The defined scope can include excavation, backfill, compaction-related coordination, grading, cleanup, and a clear turnover to landscaping, irrigation, concrete, paving, or other finish work as appropriate.
