Types of yard drain systems

Proper grading

A properly graded yard uses gravity to direct the water away from your home or building and drains it naturally.

Swales are man-made ridges and graded low areas that direct the water to where it can drain away naturally or dissipate over a large area, helping to reduce the need for watering while helping to reduce or prevent flooding and perpetually wet areas.

The use of plants and trees that thrive in heavily watered areas

Planting trees, shrubs and plants that have evolved to live in wetter areas is a good choice for areas that have small amounts of excess water. Here is a list for your reference.

French drain or a blind ditch

A French drain or blind ditch is one of the most common types of yard drainage systems.  This system consists of a ditch with a perforated pipe wrapped in filter fabric and buried in gravel to direct water in the most advantageous manner so that it drains from the property.

Drywell system

A drywell system stores water collected from the home’s downspouts or drains placed in the low spots in a yard.  The water flows into an underground storage well.  The water will gradually filter out of the well and end up back in the groundwater.

Corrugated plastic tubes

Corrugated tubing can direct the water from a home’s downspouts away from the home and can be an inexpensive solution to basement flooding.

The tubing can often be buried to for esthetics or safety reasons, and can direct the water to areas of the yard that can easily absorb it or direct it to a drain.
