Yard/Lawn Drainage

Wedge Wire Lawn yard

Landscape Drains

Homeowners face many challenges when it comes to redirecting rain water runoff. If not properly directed, standing water can eventually kill plants and grass, cause slick spots on concrete, leaky basements, and damage to foundations.

Additionally, flooded landscapes can create a breeding ground for mosquitoes or in more severe situations, a serious drowning hazard.

There are several reasons why pooling and flooding occur. Some of the more common causes include:

  • Unlevel/sloping landscape
  • New development that alters runoff balance
  • High water table in your area

Point drains or catch basins can be used independently or as part of a larger stormwater management system. They collect, retain, and discharge stormwater on-site.

Considerations

  • Location, Location, Location
    Storm water can cause areas of standing water if not effectively addressed. A catch basin will capture, hold and filter runoff water from roofs, lawns and off other surfaces.
  • Too Much / Too Long
    Standing water in your yard that’s around for longer than two days can cause many problems. Structural damage can occur, grass can die from root rot and mosquitoes become an annoyance.
  • Creating a Diversion
    Many Lawns are at the mercy of the efficient clean gutters and downspouts to keep water properly diverted away from your home and low-lying areas of your yard. Call our experts who can help you plan drainage solutions that will address your challenges.
