Drainage Solutions For Your Yard | |
If your yard resembles a swamp after a rainstorm, it’s time to find a drainage solution. Standing water not only looks unsightly, but it can kill your grass and promote soil erosion. Effective drainage solutions will divert water away from your home to prevent damage and keep your property looking its best. Here are a few options to consider: French drain French drains are an effective drainage solution for rerouting water away from low spots on your property. They’re a good option if you have issues with pooling water, or for areas that experience water damage from expansive soil (a type of soil that expands when it absorbs moisture and shrinks when it dries out). French Drains consist of a trench lined with gravel surrounding a pipe. The pipe is either perforated or has inlets at set intervals. The landscaping fabric prevents weeds and dirt from clogging the holes, and the gravel gives it a natural look. The pipe carries the water downhill to an area the property owner chooses, which can be something as simple as a dry well or Flo-well, or a garden feature such as a pond or water garden. Before you dig, call 811. Then, have your local utility company come out and mark any underground lines so you don’t accidentally hit them during the installation process. It’s also a good idea to speak with your neighbors and make sure they don’t mind having their yard dug up. After digging your trench, it’s time to line it with landscape fabric. Then, fill the trench with gravel of your choice and cover it with the landscape fabric. If you want the gravel to be aesthetically pleasing, you can even hide it with plants and decorative grates. Dry creek bed A dry creek bed is a landscape feature that blends beauty and function. It’s a trench filled with rocks of varying sizes (from river rock to small boulders) that channels rainfall away from buildings, walkways and driveways. The creek can then be directed into a French drain, swale or catch basin on your property. It’s important to map out the location and layout of your creek before you dig, to make sure that it’s directing drainage into an area that’s not already saturated or into your neighbor’s property or street (check with local ordinances). | |
