Fight the Overflow with Effective Drainage Solutions

April showers bring… flooding? Protect your landscape this spring before the rain comes pouring down.

What’s more frustrating than water damage? How about water damage that happens after you’ve made a huge investment into your home or landscape? Sadly, many homeowners learn the hard way that proper drainage is crucial for home and yard sustainability.

As rainfall intensifies this spring and summer, Parker Homescape wants to help you protect both your landscape and your home’s foundation from the elements. With our customized drainage services, we build an amicable relationship between you and the water, so that H20 will remain your friend, not your foe.

How Can Water Damage Affect My Home and Landscape?

Have you ever tried to shield yourself from the rain, only for your friend to respond with the classic line, “A little water never hurt anybody”? That might be true when it comes to getting your clothes wet. However, as far as your home and landscape are concerned, water can have a detrimental effect.

Some of the most serious implications of flooding damage include:

Finding Your Property’s Vulnerable Spots with a Thorough Consultation

Before we can recommend the right solution, we first need to know where the problems exist. Because every landscape is unique, there’s no way to make a proper diagnosis without taking the time to fully examine your yard. Looking out for your best interests, our team evaluates your entire outdoor space through an in-depth consultation to pinpoint potential hazards.

Are your drains an inadequate size, and do not properly connect to your underground piping? Or, does your driveway slope toward your garage next to a yard grade that pitches directly toward your home’s foundation? Whatever red flags we come across, our landscape experts use our trained eyes and expertise to devise a plan that will effectively resolve each issue.

Some of the other many factors that we consider include:

  • The condition of your landscape’s water table. A high water table makes your yard more susceptible to flooding.
  • The type of soil that’s in your yard. Clay soil, in particular, has poor water absorption capabilities, leading to a buildup of water that can damage your plants, trees and flowers.
  • The current arrangement of your planting/flower beds. If you’ve protected your garden beds with a border, there should be adequate space between the border to permit drainage and proper surface runoff.

How Can Parker Help?

Is your home prone to excessive stormwater runoff? A dry well can make all the difference in distributing the water underground, rather than throughout your yard’s surface level. Or, if you’ve had issues in the past with water seeping through and deteriorating your home’s foundation, a French drain will properly redirect the water away from your home.

For every drainage complication that your home may have, our wide array of solutions help guarantee that our team can find the right fit for your landscape.

Our effective and long-lasting drainage solutions include:

  • Dry Wells
  • French Drains
  • Swales
  • Dry Stream Beds
  • Regrading
  • …And more!
