“Standing Water That Won’t Go Away
After heavy rain, water can collect in low areas of your yard, around your home, or near landscaping. What starts as a puddle can eventually lead to muddy yards, damaged grass, soil erosion, foundation concerns, and other expensive problems. A proper drainage solution helps move excess water where it needs to go instead of allowing it to repeatedly collect on your property.
Different Solutions
For residential properties, the right drainage solution depends on where water collects and how it moves across the yard. French drains can help redirect groundwater, while corrugated drain pipe is commonly used to carry water away from problem areas. Catch basins collect surface water, and downspout drainage systems can move runoff away from your home. In some situations, proper grading or swales can also help guide water toward a safer drainage area.
Why drainage matters
When a lawn has large areas of bare soil, dead grass, or thin patches, simply throwing down seed isn't always the best solution. Sod gives homeowners an immediate, established lawn while helping protect exposed soil from erosion and preventing weeds from taking over those areas.
