backyard & Front yard drainage problem?
backyard & Front yard drainage problem?
Do
you have water pooling in your backyard or front yard or even your side yard.
when
it rains heavily or snow is melting in the spring.
Some
suggestions may be is to do regrade of the current ground to let the water run
away from your house but there is limitations to this solution as you don’t want
to solve your water problem to let it go to your next door neighbor property.
You
have to contain the water within our own yard and can't grade your property so
that the water runs into neighbor’s yards.
Is
the yard right behind yours slopes down towards your yard.
Is
your soil is hard packed clay.
A
number one solution to do first re-route your eaves so that the downspouts
empty into away from your house (slopes away towards trees or the towards the
street).
Solutions
depending on your yard slope and adjacent properties.
Some
of the most common solutions is to install weeping tile running down each side
of the yard towards the back or the front wherever is applicable.
Installing
drywell is another solution to capture the storm water.
A
question we always answer our clients who we solved the drainage problem for is:
Will this be sufficient to get rid of all the surface water?
Water
will stay on surface if the soil is clay which is common in most residential
houses in Calgary. The grading and slopes that is needed to be done in away all
the storm water gets collected into the drywell. The drywell must be deep
enough and wide enough to handle all the storm water. When the well fills up,
the water will seep into the soil.
Clay
soil is the worst for drainage. If water stays in the surface for long timer,
longer than 1 hour. A solution is to dig out all existing grass and topsoil and
put new topsoil and sod. It will help with drainage as well. End result is no more soggy backyard and
standing water.

a professional landscaping drainage solution for your drainage solution is best
