Does your yard look like a pond when we get a little too much rain? Do you sink when you walk in areas of your property that hold water? Does fixing your water problem seem like a great idea? Let one of GreenSeasons' professionals analyze your drainage problem to come up with a solution. We find that most small areas that hold water can be fixed by installing an affordable French drain. Large drainage problems require storm drains or grading the soil. If you are on a hill, a container wall can shore up the part of usable land and keep it level while making a nice area for the water to drain into so it stays away from places you use.
Drainage Options
French Drains
These are simple trenches with a perforated pipe that is then filled in with gravel. These the perfect option for drainage close to a building's foundation. The ground water quickly drains from the surface and into the perforated pipe and typically empties into an open ditch or a storm system.
Storm Drains
These drains are the ones you see in parking lots, streets, and sometimes yards. They have a metal grate and allow the water to pass through quickly and into the storm sewage system. These pipes tend to empty into rivers and creeks.
Grading
This is normally done during the construction phase of a home or building. Grading is done to ensure a level base for a building with a certain slope on the sides. The slope should make rainwater go away from your place. Sometimes contractors make mistakes and water pools heavily in some areas. These problems need to be corrected. This requires heavy machinery to move the soil to the correct slope away from your home.
Dirt Removal
At times, there is simply too much soil in an area and it needs to go somewhere else. GreenSeasons can move it for you.
Berms
Basically a raised barrier to protect against water. These can be a barrier near a ditch or area that floods often to keep the water on the other side. Berms are also used to direct water towards areas that are not affected by erosion.
Retaining Walls
These are vertical walls made with pavers, large rocks, or other landscaping hardscape materials. These walls put distinct layers in place along slopes that can slow water flow and create proper drainage away from higher areas. Retaining walls look great and are built to last a long time.
