Drainage Solutions
Proper grading, pipe-sizing and other
design factors can make or break a complex drain system.
Sometimes a drainage problem can not be solved without heavy
machinery or a professional landscaping company.
Wilson
Landscape Design excels at finding solutions to your
drainage problems
How do I know I have a drainage problem?
After rain you may notice large
collections of water on the surface that do not readily
disappear. To check how well your drainage is, dig a hole
about 2' foot deep and 1' foot square, fill it half full
with water and leave it for 24 hours. In this time on
well-drained soil it will have emptied.

FRENCH DRAINS
French drains are just simply trenches filled with
gravel, and covered with sand or include a drain pipe to
carry water to a drain off area. The advantages of
French drains are low cost and easy installation. In
addition, they can be covered over with turf after
installation, making them less conspicuous. |
 SUMP
PUMPS
A sump pump is used in applications where excess
rainwater or groundwater needs to be pumped away from a
particular area. A sump pump sits inside a basin (also
known as a sump) that collects this excess water.
There are two basic sump pump models, the up-right
(commonly called a pedestal) and the submersible. Either
will work well with proper maintenance.
