Common Drainage Issues in Your Yard
There are several signs that you are experiencing drainage issues in your yard. Some are easier to spot than others, but all forms of standing water are capable of causing significant damage to your home or yard. The following are some common drainage problems we encounter:
- Standing water or puddles long after it rains
- Soggy ground that never properly dries out
- Signs of erosion
- Dirt and ground covering that collects on the driveway and walkways
- Puddles in basement

How to Fix Landscaping Drainage Problems
We can connect a drainage system to all of your downspouts, your sump pump or install a French drain to solve your water problem. Most of this is accomplished by burying the pipe underground to move the water to a new location. Water always runs downhill, and we install drains and pipes to move the water away from the problem area.
We can work closely with city engineers to find the best solution for what to do with the water. We can drain the water away from your house or wet spot to another part of the yard that has more slope for the water to flow away from the property. In some cases, we can connect the drainage system directly to the storm drains.
Following are a few types of drainage solutions to consider.
French Drain
A French drain is a system of trenches filled with gravel and corrugated piping that is strategically placed to direct water along the natural slopes of your yard. They have been used for centuries and are still one of the most effective drainage solutions for homeowners today.
Catch Basin Drainage
We can install catch basins on properties with drainage problems as well. Catch basins collect water in poor drainage areas. Catch basins are water-tight and direct water to another location (similar to a French drain).
Channel Drainage
Another option to fix yard drainage issues is to excavate the soil to create a channel. This allows water to naturally flow off the property. The opposite of this would be to add a mound of soil and create a berm to keep water from entering the property. All of these options would be based on your location and the amount of space you have to work with.
We Guarantee to Leave Your Yard as Clean as We Found It
When we come to do a drainage job, we try to make as little of a mess as possible. Depending on the size of the drainage project, large equipment may be required to complete the job. As a landscape company, we are experts in lawn restoration. We can reseed or sod the area to make it look like we were never there.
