Solving Your Toughest Drainage Challenges With French Drains and More!

Poor drainage can cause a great many problems. Perhaps standing water is turning your yard into a mosquito factory, your basement has flooded one too many times, or erosion threatens to wash out your driveway with every passing storm.

Whatever your situation, we have the expertise and resources to get the job done right. We’ll implement effective drainage solutions that protect your property, preserve its beauty, and give you peace of mind.

French Drains

To create a french drain, underground trenches are filled with gravel and perforated pipes. Once installed, french drains allow water to flow freely away from your home while preventing soil erosion and waterlogging.

Dry Wells

These underground chambers collect and slowly release excess water into the ground, reducing the risk of flooding and protecting your landscape from water damage.

Swales On Contour

Swales on contour are gentle depressions or channels strategically designed to catch and infiltrate water. By following the natural contours of the land, swales effectively manage water runoff, prevent erosion, and promote groundwater recharge.

Rain Gardens

Rain gardens are landscaped areas specifically designed to absorb and filter stormwater runoff from roofs, driveways, and other impervious surfaces. These gardens help capture and infiltrate water, reducing the risk of flooding and improving water quality.

Reshaping Your Landscape

Reshaping your landscape involves grading and sloping the land to redirect water away from structures and low-lying areas. By creating natural slopes and channels, you can effectively manage water runoff, prevent erosion, and enhance the overall health and beauty of your outdoor space.

Erosion Control 

Erosion can wreak havoc on your yard, causing soil loss, property damage, and environmental degradation. Our erosion control service is designed to mitigate these risks by implementing measures like grading, resloping, and terracing. With our proactive approach, we help safeguard your property against erosion and maintain its stability for years to come.

Understanding Yard Drainage

Proper yard drainage is crucial for maintaining a healthy and functional outdoor space in Frederick, MD. Without adequate drainage, excess water can accumulate, leading to a host of problems such as soil erosion, waterlogged plants, and even structural damage to your house. Understanding how yard drainage works can help you identify and resolve potential issues before they become major headaches.

For proper drainage, there are two factors to consider: slope and soil type.  Ideally, the ground should slope away from your home’s foundation on all sides to prevent water from pooling around the structure. If this isn’t the case, you’ll want to reshape your land or implement other measures to mitigate pooling and flooding.

Additionally, soil types affect how quickly water can infiltrate the ground. For example, clay soils tend to be dense and poorly drained, while sandy soils drain faster. Understanding your soil type can help you choose the appropriate drainage solutions for your property – whether that’s a rain garden system, french drain pipe installation, or a total reshaping of the land.

How To Address Drainage Issues

Grading involves shaping the land to create slopes that direct water away from structures and low-lying areas. Additionally, grading can help channel water towards designated drainage areas or natural water features like swales, rain gardens, or dry creek beds, where it can safely infiltrate the soil.
 

In addition to grading, there are other, less intensive ways to manage water runoff effectively. These may include French drains, pipe installation, dry wells, swales on contour, or rain gardens, depending on the needs of your property and your preferences.
