Why Is Landscape Drainage Necessary
While a soggy or muddy yard is a hassle, excess water may not seem that serious. However, it can actually cause serious problems for your home and your family. Consider these problems caused by poor drainage:
- Mosquito infestations in areas of standing water.
- Pooling water around your foundation can lead to cracks and costly damage.
- Trees and plants can’t survive in areas of excess water.
- Large areas of mud make your yard impossible to use and enjoy for days at a time.
Our drainage system services fix standing and pooling water and ensure you can make the most of your yard.
- Your yard becomes a healthy, safe place for your family to spend time.
- You can plant your favorite trees, plants, and flowers to design a landscape you love.
- Your curb appeal improves with a healthy, thriving yard.
- Your pets and kids can play and enjoy the yard without tracking in mud and messes.
- You’ll minimize moisture around your home, preventing crawl space or basement flooding.
Our Yard Drainage Services
We know your yard is unique, and that means you need a specific solution to end the challenges caused by poor yard drainage, including standing water, poor runoff, and mud. We offer comprehensive yard and landscape drainage solutions in Raleigh and the surrounding area.
French Drains
For significant drainage problems, especially close to your home, we can install a french drain system to catch and redirect water. This is an intensive process in which a trench is dug through the area where water collects and a perforated pipe filled with gravel is laid in order to carry the water away from your home and property. To ensure an attractive appearance, we can cover the french drain with your choice of sod, mulch, or stone to blend in perfectly with your yard and home.
Hardscaping
Where surface water is slow to drain, especially on hard surfaces, we can replace them with quick draining gravel, stone, and other materials. These not only eliminate moisture problems, but they also create attractive elements on your property that can increase curb appeal.
Retaining Walls
If your home is on a downward slope, rain water runoff from higher elevations can cause problems on your property. When this is the case, our team can design and install retaining walls using high-quality stone or brick that block the flow of water while improving the beauty of your yard.
Catch Basins
Does standing water collect at specific spots in your yard? When low spots are a problem, the ideal yard drainage solution is often a catch basin. A catch basin, or storm drain, is placed in the lowest point of your yard where it collects water in an underground tank and redirects it away from your property. For safety, the top is fitted with a heavy-duty steel or iron grate to cover the hole.
Land Grading
Our landscaping team offers land grading that can level out an uneven or flat yard while creating a mild incline. This allows rainwater to flow down your yard without eroding the soil or pooling in areas around your home.
Rain Gardens
If you have a depressed area in your yard at the bottom of a slope or where water collects from downspouts or sump pumps, we can create a rain garden that transforms an area of standing water into a lush, beautiful feature on your property. Planting hardy perennials and native grasses in a strategic manner is a cost-effective, environmentally friendly way to minimize runoff and erosion.
