๐ง๏ธHeavy rains give good clues on avoiding landscape trouble in the future. Here are some things to watch for this week as we experience some tropical weather:
-Depressions where water stood for days. Level it out with additional soil.
-Look where excess, unwanted water flowed, and correct it by adding drain pipes, dry streambeds, or swales to redirect it to a more desirable area. Better yet, consider adding a rain garden to capture and drain runoff instead of letting it wash away. These can be most attractive and environmentally friendly.
-For downspouts that blew soil or mulch out into the yard, mitigate the force by adding a bed of stones or a splash block at the bottom.
-For areas with poor drainage, make note to build raised beds before planting there or plant only plants that can withstand periodic โwet feet.
Once you identify any problem areas, give us a call. Our experienced team can provide solutions for drainage and erosion control.
