Drainage Plans
A skilled designer thoroughly assesses the characteristics of your yard, meticulously examining the topography even if the terrain appears level. By conducting precise spot elevations, the designer identifies any problem areas and devises solutions through thoughtful design.
Proper drainage is influenced by the presence of groundwater, which is directly influenced by rainfall patterns. In certain low-lying regions of the South, the water table can be just inches below the surface. Such conditions pose numerous challenges for construction and impose limitations on planting options.
Rainfall acts as the catalyst for drainage issues, triggering problems when heavy downpours occur. Poorly drained sites can experience temporary flooding if proper drainage structures are in place, or prolonged inundation if they are not. When combined with a high water table, the potential for damage grows exponentially.
