Struggling with poor drainage around your lawn? A French drain might be the perfect solution.
While it would be great if every inch of your property was perfectly leveled and graded for optimal drainage, the truth is that most properties struggle in some way or another with issues like waterlogging, erosion, and other drainage problems. A French drain is an essential tool in managing these kinds of problems, helping direct the flow of excess water and prevent it from pooling in your yard. At Blewett Outdoor Living, we specialize in designing and installing French drains that can effectively direct water away from your home and landscaping, eliminating unattractive, unhealthy, and unsanitary soggy patches.
What Is a French Drain?
A French drain is, essentially, a trench that is filled with gravel or rock that surrounds a perforated pipe. The pipe collects water and directs it to a designated drainage area, preventing pooling and water damage to the rest of your property. This design allows water to flow away from areas where it isn’t wanted, such as around your home’s foundation. A French drain system is ideal for properties that struggle with soggy lawns or leaky basements or are in areas that are prone to flooding.
Benefits of French Drains
Aside from the major benefit of helping to eliminate drainage problems, French drain systems also offer several other attractive benefits, including:
