Here's a job we finished today.The client had lots of cascading and sheeting water that would fly across the surface of the ground.
It was eroding out part of his mulch beds, and putting trench lines in the soil in parts of his backyard. Consequently, we dug several trench lines. Then Excavated out the dirt, and put in w**d barrier paper and a drainage pipe.
Then we backfilled all the way to the top with round river rock, and we put several clean outs on the system. If you notice we use round, river rock as opposed to what most contractors use , which is 2B limestone
We use Round river rock for several reasons. Number one, it doesn't compact as much over time, like 2B Limestone does. The more it compacts, the smaller the voids get between The Rocks. This means it slows down the flow rate.
The rounded, non-angular shape of river rock prevents the stones from packing tightly together. This leaves larger voids, maximizing water flow and drainage efficiency compared to the interlocking structure of limestone.
Equally important, the round river rock has a smoother surface, and allows the water to flow through better. This higher flow rate take the water quicker from where the customer doesn't want it to where the client wants it. Which means it goes to a yard drain, or drains out to the street to discharge, or into the woods or over a hill into a creek .
Number 3- Zero Limestone Breakdown: Unlike limestone, which is alkaline and can break down or dissolve over time, river rock is chemically stable and does not contribute to the "fines" (dust and sediment) that clog.
We obtain the rock from our friends at Meadow Lands Supply Co. LLC
This way , when the sheeting water comes down , it hits the rock and immediately falls into the voids of the rock. The water falls into the bottom of the trench. Then enters the pipe and gets carried away.
The upper drain line.We had the water daylight and exit right into a little pond area.
The 2 lower Rock to grade pipe systems we installed at the bottom of the yard. We had those exit out through a pop up emitter, and drain into a chanell drain in his side yard.
The client was very happy. Mention this ad and receive a discount. Don't wait , call us today and get on our spring schedule.
WE GO TO THE EXTRA MILE ONE YARD AT A TIME.
