Downspout Extensions

Downspouts are designed to direct rainwater away from your home, but in many cases, the water doesn't travel far enough, causing it to collect at the base of your foundation. This can lead to flooding or damage over time. A common solution is to install downspout extensions, where the downspout is buried and connected to underground solid piping, carrying the water away from your home to a safe discharge area, such as a pop-up emitter. This method prevents water from pooling near your foundation and ensures it is properly dispersed, protecting your home from water-related issues.

Dry Creek Beds

A dry creek bed is an attractive and effective way to manage water flow in your yard; by creating a swale lined with landscape fabric and filled with river rock, a dry creek bed channels excess water away from your property to a designated drainage area. This system allows water to flow freely in a controlled manner, preventing erosion or water buildup in your yard. Dry creek beds are often ideal along fence lines or in areas prone to flooding, offering functionality and aesthetic appeal to your landscape.

French Drains and Channel Drains

If your property is not graded properly to allow excess surface water to flow toward the curb or storm drain, a French drain or channel drain may be the perfect solution. French drains are installed below ground, and perforated piping collects and redirects water away from problem areas. On the other hand, channel drains are often used around concrete areas like patios or driveways to capture surface water and move it away from your home. Both options prevent water from pooling and damaging your outdoor spaces.
