If your neighbor’s land stands at a higher elevation than yours, you may be experiencing problems with excessive moisture on your property. Water from your neighbor’s property may be running down the slope and spilling onto your property. We can give you better yard drainage. One option in such cases is installing French drains. When some people speak of a “French drain,” they refer to a trench in which a drain pipe is laid, but the traditional French drain is basically a trench filled with gravel. You are responsible for the natural flow of your water run–off, whether you live in a rural setting, or residential neighborhood.
Do you have a slope on your property down which excess water flows, causing erosion on the slope and/or a landscape drainage problem below? We often get rid of such water build up by building dry creek beds. Besides the practical aspect of improving landscape drainage, dry creek beds can also be attractive. In fact, some folks with absolutely no landscape drainage problems build dry creek beds just because they like the look of them!
