Why is drainage an important aspect of my property?
Good drainage in the landscape is as important a strong home foundation. Too much water in landscaped areas can result in numerous plant diseases and can even kill sensitive plants like expensive evergreens. Overly wet turf areas are prone to soil compaction and scarring from footprints and mowing equipment.
In addition, drainage around buildings is important to prevent leaky basements, crawl spaces, and moisture intrusion into building foundations and walls which can lead to damage and potential collapse, resulting in thousands of dollars of damage.
Drainage systems can use a variety of techniques to remove unwanted water from an area, whether on a residential, commercial, or golf course site.
How do I know if I have proper drainage?
While the main components of proper drainage are hidden under your topsoil, spotting poor drainage can be as easy as waiting until a solid rainfall and looking at your yard for puddling or erosion. If you spot either of these scenarios, it is time to call Transitions Landscaping.
