Expertise is important as there can be landscaping difficulties that someone without legitimate know how can fall into. An improperly installed drainage system is one of the predicaments that can occur.

Landscape Drainage Pitfalls

Flat land, high water tables, dense soils or any combination thereof, necessitates a drainage system that works well. If a drainage system isn’t in place or is installed improperly, water can start to collect in large or small areas. This can affect structures and plants negatively. New or existing landscape could have swampy areas that are unattractive and inaccessible. Drainage is an extremely important issue and properties need to be looked at carefully and designed accordingly so that drainage problems do not occur.

Landscape Drainage Options

An experienced landscape designer will carefully assess each piece of property that work will be done on. Potential problem areas will be identified and dealt with thru landscape design. Depending on the type of soil that exists on your property, a landscape designer may decide to use surface drainage or underground drainage as a way to prevent marshy and muddy areas. If the water table is high enough, raised beds and water loving plants may be employed.
