Drainage Systems

No landscape installation is complete until drainage has been considered. Most drainage and run-off should be dealt with by properly grading the landscape to allow water to flow naturally on the surface where the water can percolate into the soil or find its way into a natural body of water. With that said, our modern environment does not always allow for grading alone to solve drainage issues. In many situations, constructed elements (house, road, driveway, sidewalk, retaining wall, etc.) block the natural flow of water altogether or dictate a landscape so flat that water can only sit in the low areas until it saturates the soil. For situations like these, surface drains, french drains, dry creek beds, pump systems, and/or permeable pavers might be an ideal solution.
