If you’re fighting against water on your property, let Arbeen Landscaping take back your lawn for you! Our team can expertly level any yard and offer excavation for certain areas. Whether you’re looking to install a new pool or pond, prevent a water catastrophe, or transform your landscaping, we are ready to get the job done.

Frequently Asked Questions About Drains

What is Yard Drainage?

The Chicago area’s rain, sleet, and snow can build up on an improperly prepared lawn and lead to a multitude of issues, including washed away soil, pools of stagnant water on your property, and dead vegetation. Our yard drainage services help prevent these issues and keep your lawn healthy and free of extra water.

What Problems Can a Drain Fix For My Yard?

If water is collecting in your yard, it is most likely the result of a flawed drainage system.

What is the Role of Drains?

Drains play an important role in the functioning of your home’s outdoor space. A drain collects and disposes of excess water through perforated pipes to prevent flooding on your property.

Common Causes of Yard Drainage Issues

There are several reasons why your yard might suffer from drainage issues. Our team has found solutions for properties of all types.

Lawn Slope

Many drainage issues result from the flat slope of your yard. When it rains, water pools in the yard because the flat plane can’t divert a sufficient amount of water away from the house and property.

Short Downspout

Many homes have a downspout that is too short and doesn’t allow the water to get past the garden beds or other landscaped areas. When the rain falls directly into these areas, it collects under the mulch, builds up in the soil, and drowns your plants.

Impacted Soil

Impacted soil or contaminated soil can be caused by construction projects around your property, foot traffic, and materials moving or sitting on your land. When soil is impacted, it holds moisture a lot longer, which leads to rainfall pooling in your yard and attracting insects.

Soil Erosion from Runoff

The runoff from your downspout can result in soil erosion as it pours onto the lawn or landscaped area and strips away some of the topsoil. The erosion can lead to water collecting heavily in your yard and causing additional damage.
