What You Need to Know About Landscape Drainage

• What Is Landscape Drainage? – The term landscape drainage refers to how water flows over your property and where it goes. Poor drainage can cause parts of your landscape to become waterlogged and soggy, and it can cause water to soak into the ground around your foundation, which will do damage over time. Good drainage ensures excess water flows away from your property before it can do damage.

• How Are Landscape Drainage Issues Addressed? – Landscape drainage problems can be resolved in a variety of ways. In some cases, our team may need to excavate your land to adjust its slope, making sure the water flows away from your home. Another solution is to install drains around your landscape—as rainwater flows over your land, it will flow into the drain intakes and through the drain pipes to an outlet well away from any structures. No matter what drainage issues you may be experiencing, you can count on our team to provide the effective solutions you need.
