There are many reasons why a soggy backyard is not desirable. First, it is unsightly. Second, it is a breeding ground for pests. Third, you and your family can’t enjoy being out in the yard when you need rubber boots. It’s not much fun to have to bathe a muddy dog, either. Finally, all that water isn’t good for the health of your landscaping. The fact of the matter is that you can’t let a soggy issue persist. Instead, you need to call a professional landscaper to handle yard drainage issues.
You might be concerned that you’ll face a large invoice for yard drainage, but there are often less costly solutions for dealing with a soggy yard. For example, a mild water issue can be resolved by swapping out your current plants for some that require more water. They’ll soak it up gladly, and your problems will be over. If you have plants that haven’t enjoyed the extra water, many may have root rot and need to be replaced anyway.
The landscaper can also tell you if the problem is insufficient slope in your yard. This can be resolved by grading so that the water moves away from your home’s foundation to a dedicated drainage area that will allow for faster reabsorption into the ground. This is a more involved process than replacing plants but will be the best choice if water is posing a danger to your home.
