Are you concerned that your landscape has a drainage problem? Many property owners are in the same boat. It is incredibly disheartening to see your landscaping efforts washed away every time it rains. Although life is dependant on water, it is also important to understand that it can be quite destructive. Here are a few major signs that you have drainage issues on your landscape.

You Have Standing Water

It is not uncommon for your lawn to remain wet a day or so after a rainstorm. However, if you have a significant amount of puddles or standing water, it likely means you have drainage problems.

The Effects Of Standing Water

-Poor water drainage can drown grasses and plants

-Wet surfaces become slick and create safety hazards

-Pools of water can become breeding grounds for mosquitoes

Your Grass Is Not Growing

Grass needs oxygen in order to grow. When large pools of water continuously smother a lawn, the grass does not stand a chance. In many cases, bare spots on a lawn are there because they areas that hold water.

You Have Water In Your Basement

A flooded basement is a homeowner’s worst nightmare. This can cause all sorts of home and property damage. If water is finding its way into your basement after it rains, it could mean that you have inadequate drainage on your landscape. Also, be on the lookout for spots of gray or white on your basement walls. These deposits are leftover mineral deposits when water has evaporated.
