When considering solutions for water drainage in your yard, your first thought might be, “I need to redirect this water somewhere else. Maybe a trench drain will do the trick!” Then again, if you have nowhere to direct the water, you’ll just end up with the same issue in another area. In this kind of situation, you need a solution that not only redirects water but also disperses it evenly throughout your landscape, helping to reduce erosion while preserving your yard’s natural beauty.
Why Getting the Correct Water Drainage Solution for Your Yard Matters
It’s easy to ignore water pooling in your yard. At first, it might seem like just an unusually rainy day or something that can be dealt with later. However, it’s important to address the issue sooner rather than later, as standing water can lead to lawn and plant damage, mosquito breeding, foundation issues, and potentially much higher repair costs down the line.
A DryWell is a superior solution for drainage issues because it’s an underground structure that collects and disperses water back into the soil, making it an environmentally friendly option. It helps support groundwater naturally by allowing water to naturally filter back into the Earth. DryWells are also low maintenance, require minimal upkeep once installed, and are discreet and low-profile in your landscape. Compared to more invasive solutions like trench drains, a Drywell is also highly cost-effective.
What Are My Options?
There are a few ways to handle water drainage for your yard drainage issues:
- Trench Drains: Ideal for areas with heavy surface runoff where you need to completely redirect waterflow.
- Catch Basins: Effective at collecting water and minimize water pooling.
- DryWells: Designed to collect surface water underground and refiltering it back into the surrounding soil.
Pros and Cons of Each Solution
| Solution | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|
| Trench Drains | It has a high-volume capacity and has more style options for your landscape | Cost and may need cleaning if it is clogged |
| Catch Basins | Efficient Collection, Flexible Use | Visible and will need cleanout maintenance |
| DryWells | Very affective at collecting and being ecofriendly | Requires digging up soil to install |
