Backyard Flooding and Drainage Solution

Project Overview: This homeowner’s backyard faced persistent flooding due to runoff from neighboring properties. The water would accumulate in her yard, washing away mulch, and creating conditions where moss thrived instead of healthy grass. Being situated at the bottom of a hill, her property collected water from uphill neighbors, leading to serious erosion and poor lawn conditions.

Challenges:

  • Excessive water runoff from neighboring properties flooding the backyard.

  • Erosion washing away mulch and preventing grass growth.

  • Persistent moisture issues, fostering moss instead of healthy lawn growth.

  • Aesthetic decline in the yard due to waterlogged soil and lack of proper drainage.

Outcome: The drainage system now efficiently handles water runoff, preventing flooding and protecting the homeowner’s backyard from erosion. The lawn has begun to recover, and the homeowner can enjoy a lush, healthy yard free from flooding issues. We transformed the space into a functional and aesthetically pleasing outdoor area.

Key Skills & Tools Used:

  • Drainage system design and installation (6-inch pipe system)

  • Yard grading and elevation techniques

  • Erosion control strategies

  • Spring cleanup and landscaping restoration

  • Stone wall installation

  • Manual edging, sod installation, mulch installation
