Water is essential to the health of any lawn. Just as it’s important that your grass has enough water, it’s equally critical to have the proper drainage systems in place. Too much water can lead to several issues that affect not only the health of your grass, but also the integrity of your property.
Finding the right balance between too much and just enough water requires considerable expertise. Ultimately, there is no substitute for the experience of a knowledgeable landscaping professional. Shearer Patio & Landscape Services is a longstanding provider of lawn drainage services in Central Ohio and beyond. We help our customers solve complex irrigation challenges, ensuring their lawns stay beautiful and healthy for years to come.
For more than 20 years, Shearer Patio & Landscape Services has designed drainage landscaping solutions for the most challenging water problems in the Columbus region. Our yard drainage contractors can inspect your property, identify problems with soil and pitch, and develop a customized garden drainage solution that will protect your structures and landscaping from damage. We can also inspect your existing irrigation system to see if it is distributing water throughout your property as effectively as it could. When water is damaging your home and property, Shearer Patio & Landscape Services can create a landscape drainage solution that meets your needs.
The first step to your yard drainage solution is determining the source of the problem. Some homes have a water table problem that pushes up moisture from below. In these situations, the best solution may be a sump pump that actively moves water from the trouble spot to an area downhill from your home, lawn and garden.
Luckily, most drainage problems do not require a sump pump solution. If you’re like most property owners who have a water problem caused by poor soil or pitch, Shearer Patio & Landscape Services can design a garden drainage solution customized for your needs.
Once we locate the water source, we can design a solution that will take unwanted moisture away from your foundation and garden. In some cases, this may be as simple as re-grading your soil away from the problem areas. In others, redirecting gutter downspouts can have a dramatic effect on the dryness of your soil.
If your Ohio property needs a dry well or French drain, Shearer Patio & Landscape Services can also construct a trench that will move water away from your property. We can also completely re-grade your property and build drains in preparation for a new lawn, garden, pool or other structure.
When it comes to watering your lawn, it’s possible to have too much of a good thing. Whether it’s due to excessive rain or accidental overwatering, too much water can cause mold and algae to build up and then attract insects, rodents and other pests — all issues that can harm or kill large patches of your lawn. Beyond that, drainage issues can damage your lawn’s irrigation system or even potentially the foundation of your home.
For these reasons and more, you should always trust your lawn drainage to a professional. A small investment in service today can help prevent a major problem down the line, saving you time, money and a lot of hassle.
Each lawn is different, and contractors who take a one-size-fits-all approach to irrigation risk causing more problems than they solve. At the core of our lawn drainage service is an emphasis on creative problem-solving.
First, our team will pinpoint the issue — whether it’s a design flaw or a water table problem that pushes up moisture from below. From there, we will recommend a set of changes or upgrades that addresses the underlying problem, rather than work around the situation. This can include:
If your lawn has a drainage problem, we will complete a detailed inspection as well as an action plan for correcting the issue. If you currently have an irrigation system in place, we can test it to make sure it is distributing water where it needs to go. Finally, if you’re in the process of renovating your yard, count on our expertise for complete integrated solutions that both look great and actively promote a healthy garden.
