The Importance of a Drainage System

To decide if your property needs a lawn drainage system, consider the benefits of these systems. A quality lawn drainage solution:

  • Removes standing water: Standing water and a soggy lawn can be unsightly, attract mosquitoes, and create an unsafe, slippery surface. Lawn drainage solutions can effectively remove pools of water so you can enjoy your garden.
  • Safeguards your home: Insufficient draining can cause water to seep through the cracks of your foundation, causing structural damage to your building.
  • Mitigates soil erosion: A good lawn drainage system ensures flowing water does not displace your landscape soil. Erosion harms your landscaping and can also compromise your home’s foundation.
  • Keeps plants healthy: Drainage systems prevent excessive water from removing important nutrients your plants need to grow. Good draining also ensures your plants remain firmly rooted.

Drainage Solutions by Drainage Masters LLC

Drainage Masters LLC offers expert drainage solutions so you can enjoy a dry, worry-free yard. From water pools to erosion, our technicians masterfully deal with these issues by installing the following solutions:

A French drain is a trench in the ground with a perforated pipe. The pipe is covered with stone or gravel, allowing excess water to trickle through the gravel into the pipe. These subsurface systems collect and channel excess saturation and water from your foundation, lawn areas, and landscaping, preventing pooling and potential water damage. The beautiful stone or gravel surface also adds visual appeal to a garden, and we can widen these systems to create a functional gravel pathway.

Retaining walls help keep water from damaging your landscape and home. They provide a strong base to hold soil up and water back. Besides controlling water flow, they offer more flat surfaces for garden beds or walkways, and their beauty elevates outdoor spaces.

Our layered yard systems go beyond basic grading to ensure your property has the optimal foundation for healthy drainage. When you allow us to grade and install our layered yard system, you can enjoy:

  • A protected foundation: Proper grading channels water away from your home, safeguarding your foundation from costly water damage.
  • Healthy lawns: Effective drainage promotes optimal moisture levels, leading to thriving lawns.
  • No more mud: Say goodbye to muddy patches caused by poor drainage.

Catch basins collect unwanted water in your yard, driveway, or patio and channel it safely into your existing rain drain system or a different appropriate destination. This system consists of a concrete box, or basin, set into the ground with a grate on top, allowing water to flow through the grate into the basin. Additionally, our patent pending steel catch basins act as sediment traps, preventing leaves and other debris from clogging your storm drain or sewer system and provide a way to easily maintain your piping system.

Swales are natural, shallow ditches that capture rainwater runoff from your roof, driveway, or other paved areas. Instead of rushing off your property and causing erosion, the water collects in the swale and flows away from problematic areas. This cost-effective runoff solution is easy to install and incorporate into any garden. They are a great and inexpensive option to drain large areas such as pastures and farm areas.
