YARD DRAINAGE SYSTEM
Ineffective water evacuation can lead to water pooling in a yard. This standing water can not only kill vegetation, but it can also become a breeding ground for mosquitos and other insects. If your property is experiencing water pooling or improper water evacuation and you’re seeking a professional drainage contractor, then give the experts at K&H landscaping a call. Our skilled team will help you identify and implement the most effective yard drainage system so you can stop worrying about water evacuation issues once and for all.
Grass Swales: A swale is an area of land that has been graded specifically to redirect water. Grassy swales are an ideal consideration when a property owner is looking to dissipate water over a larger area or redirect it to a drain or bog planting. This type of a solution is ideal in cases of incorrect surface grading. The best part – the swale isn’t always obvious and can look like part of the overall landscaping!
Rain Gardens: Rain gardens consist of water loving plants that are planted in low lying areas of a yard. A rain garden can enhance the look of a yard, so it doesn’t look unsightly, wet, and muddy. Rain gardens reduce runoff and thus are good for the environment. They also don’t have to continue having standing water like a pond. They can be perfect for areas of slow drainage where a water initially pools before dissipating completely.
French Drains: This is one of the most common types of outdoor drainage system. It is generally a network of perforated pipes and gravel underground and is intended to divert water towards a drain. French drains are ideal for properties where water cannot be easily dissipated within the existing landscape.
Dry-wells: Dry-wells are holes in the ground that are filled with gravel and aggregate and are intended to collect run off generated from the first 10-15 minutes of a rainstorm and then help dissipate the water underground over a period of time. A dry well system can be an environmentally friendly alternative to French drains because they discharge the water on site.
