Drainage Solutions

We all know that we need water to live. Our bodies are 60% water themselves, however when water enters our home or yards in unexpected ways, it can be a disaster. We are here to help with all your drainage solutions.

At Harris Lawn and Landscape, we recognize a well designed drainage system as a priority to your landscape. Without proper drainage solutions in place, water can collect and undermine the structures in your landscape. Just like that, your expensive plants, carefully thought out gardens, and perfectly placed and installed trees can be drowned and ruined. As a result, your new beautiful landscape will inevitably turn into various wet swamps. With our professional and experienced landscape architects, you will never have to worry about this potential damage to your landscape. Whether the land is flat, soils are dense, or the water table is high, we have a drainage solution for you.

Potential Problems & Drainage Solutions

Some potentially damaging problems our landscape architects lookout for include:

• Surface Water – Resolved with a new drainage plan that utilizes surface grading to ensure there is enough fall to drain
• Hardpan – Resolved by creating an underground drainage system of pipes fed by drop inlets trench drains
• High Water Table –  Resolved by raising the planting areas or instead using plants that originate in river bottoms and wetlands
