The technicians at Arbeen Landscaping are more than capable of helping you with flooding issues, even if you already have a drainage system installed.
There might be other issues causing water flow problems, such as installation mistakes, damaged pipes, or changes in the region or environment.
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.
The Importance of Drainage Systems
A drainage system helps you prevent issues like standing water and soil erosion. Some common issues you might experience without an effective drainage system include:
- Damage to your home’s foundation and structure
- Basement water stains
- Mold and wood rot
- Damage to your hardscaping, like patios, walkways, and driveway
- Erosion
- Lawn diseases
- Insect infestations
Arbeen Landscaping can help you implement the right drainage solution to help you avoid the serious complications of water damage.
Yard Drainage Services
Arbeen Landscaping offers several yard water drainage solutions. We use our professional expertise and experience to determine the best drainage system for your property. Here are a few common drainage methods:
Lawn Gradation
A lawn gradation adjusts the overall slope of your yard to help ensure that water flows away from your home and doesn’t pool in one area.
Yard Basins
We can also install yard basins, also called catch basins, in the soil of your lawn to collect rainwater and drain away from your property. Yard basins help protect your basement from leaks and relieve pressure in your yard.
French Drains
French drains consist of a perforated pipe system that we install in your lawn to reduce hydrostatic pressure and drain groundwater from your property.
Yard Grading for Drainage
Drainage includes adding gradation to your lawn so that rainwater gets directed away from your property. Arbeen Landscaping can create a grading plan for your lawn to help solve your drainage issues.

Still on the fence about whether or not you should opt for landscape drainage services? Discover the power of proper drainage and how it can transform your yard. Here are some benefits:
Prevent Weeds and Disease
Too much moisture can transform your lawn into a breeding ground for fungus. Unchecked, this can invite lawn diseases and unsightly weeds.
We help your lawn maintain optimal moisture levels to keep disease and weeds at bay with our drainage solutions.
Avoid Soil Erosion
Water runoff can quickly turn into soil erosion that uproots turf and washes away plant beds.
With our tailored drainage solutions, you can safeguard your landscape from erosion and keep it intact.
Shield Your Home's Foundation
Foundation erosion can compromise the structural integrity of your property. When excess water seeps into your foundation, it can lead to cracks and weakening.
Yard drainage does more than protect your landscape. It also shields your home from the elements.
Enjoy Your Outdoor Space
A lawn flooded with water is more than ugly, it’s inconvenient. Your friends, family, and pets deserve a dry, inviting outdoor space.
Our drainage solutions prevent your lawn from being a muddy minefield, allowing you full freedom in your yard.
