Frequently Asked Questions About Yard Drainage
How do I know if I need a professional yard drainage system?
The most common signs are water pooling for hours or days after a rainstorm, a constantly soggy or “squishy” lawn, or water flowing toward your home’s foundation instead of away from it.
What is the difference between a French drain and a catch basin?
A catch basin collects surface water quickly through a grate (ideal for low spots or bottom of hills). A French drain is a perforated pipe surrounded by gravel that absorbs and redirects water seeping into the ground over a larger area. We often use a combination of both for the best results.
Will installing a drainage system ruin my existing lawn?
Trenching is required to install the pipes, which will disturb the grass in that specific line. However, we work carefully to minimize the impact, properly backfill the trenches, and leave the area graded and ready for new seed or sod to recover quickly.
