DRAINAGE & EROSION CONTROL

The Importance of Effective Drainage & Erosion Control

Proper drainage and erosion control are crucial for protecting your landscape and property. Without them, water can pool, damaging your home’s foundation and causing soil erosion. Effective drainage systems redirect water away from problem areas, ensuring a healthy landscape and preventing waterlogging. Controlling erosion stabilizes soil on slopes and prevents washouts, preserving the integrity and appearance of your outdoor spaces. Choosing the right solutions enhances both the function and beauty of your landscape, providing long-lasting protection and appeal.

Types of Drainage Solutions

• French Drains

  • Description: A gravel-filled trench with a perforated pipe that redirects surface and groundwater away from problem areas.

• Sump Pump Systems

  • Description: A system that collects and pumps water away from low-lying or basement areas prone to flooding.

• Channel Grate Drains

  • Description: Surface drains with a grated cover to catch and channel water quickly away from paved areas like driveways, patios, and walkways.

• Dry Creek Beds

  • Description: Decorative yet functional swales lined with river rock that mimic natural water flow, allowing controlled runoff for water in large volumes and velocities to address waterlogged areas and prevent erosion.

Erosion Control Techniques

• Retaining Walls

  • Stone Retaining Walls

    • Description: Large natural boulders or stones are strategically stacked to hold back soil and prevent erosion while still looking natural to the landscape.

  • Engineered Block & Brick Retaining Walls

    • Description: Use of manufactured blocks or bricks designed to interlock or stack for strength and stability, providing erosion control and aesthetic appeal.
