Our
Drainage Services...
Standing water in your yard
isn't just an inconvenient
nuisance; it can kill your grass
and other plants, ruining your
landscape. Standing water can
also be a health hazard,
harboring mosquitoes and other
pests. Excess water buildup can
cause mold and mildew, brick
discoloration, wood rot,
foundation shifting and
cracking. We have many options
available to solve your drainage
problems. Call for a
drainage consultation

You can turn drainage solutions
into features that enhance your
landscape-and protect natural
waterways. Ditches can be
landscaped as swales that look
like creek beds or small
meadows. Gutter water can flow
into rain gardens that provide a
habitat for butterflies and
birds.
Swales
Swales are depressions that
follow the contour around the
base of a slope (natural or
created), channeling storm water
from one place to another. They
filter runoff along the way by
allowing it to sink into the
soil. Plants on a swale's gently
sloping banks-and sometimes down
the center of the channel
itself-take up much of this
water. Fast-draining soil is
also key. The addition of a
perforated pipe laid in gravel
underneath can help handle heavy
water flow.
Rain Gardens
Shallow catch basins planted as
flower beds, rain gardens allow
water to pool during a downpour,
then slowly percolate into the
soil. Where a swale is mostly a
travel route for water, a rain
garden is a destination. A
fast-draining soil mix
encourages water to sink in and
promotes lush plant growth.
Runoff may flow into a rain
garden from a swale or pipe, or
may simply run in from a sloping
yard.
