You probably already know that you need a quality irrigation system to get water where it is needed throughout your landscaping. However, what you may not realize is that it is also important that any excess water be able to drain properly. Here are a few things you might notice if your landscaping is asking for drainage solutions to be found.
Could Your Landscaping Be Asking for Drainage Solutions?

  1. Yellowing plants. Too much water can make many plant varieties look yellow and sickly. They can even die if they are a species that doesn’t like its roots to stay waterlogged. They are drowning because the excess water isn’t draining away properly.
  2. Prolific weeds. Weeds will take root and grow like crazy when they don’t have any competition. If your grass has thinned because of a weak root system, that provides the perfect invitation. The best way to keep grass healthy is to encourage it to grow deep roots. Proper drainage solutions to get the water below the surface will help your grass be strong and healthy.
  3. Mulch on walkways. Does your mulch ooze onto your walkways, patio, and driveway every time it rains? If so, this is a sign that the water is rising enough to make the mulch float and then settle elsewhere. Drainage solutions can be found to alleviate this problem.
