Learn How to Stop Yard From Flooding After it Rains

Venyscapes a top-rated Atlanta yard drain company. We are here to help answer the question “How do I stop my yard from flooding after it rains” With these suggestions we hope to teach you the best approaches to stopping your yard from flooding after it rains.

There are several steps you can take to prevent flooding in your yard after it rains. With the amount of rain that Atlanta and surrounding areas see each year, there are thousands of homeowners and business owners that experience flooding on their property. Follow some of these ideas to see if there is something you might be missing in order to prevent flooding.

First, make sure that your gutters and downspouts are clear of debris and are functioning properly. Clogged gutters can cause water to overflow and pool in low-lying areas of your yard. Additionally, make sure that the downspouts are directing water away from your foundation and into a drainage system or a rain garden.

Next, check for those low-lying areas in your yard that may be collecting water. If you find any, you can have a drainage system installed. Yard drains such as french drains, catch basins, rain gardens, dry wells, etc., will help collect any excess water and move it where it need to go. This will prevent flooding in your yard.

Third, consider the grading of your yard. Make sure that is slopes away from your your foundation and that the soil is not compacted. Compacted soil can impede water flow. You may need to regrade certain areas to ensure proper drainage.

Yes, absolutely! Veynscapes is excellent in taking flooded and oversaturated yards and making them more livable.

We offer several kinds of exterior drainage solutions for our customers, but there are also some solutions that you may be open to doing yourself. If you are pretty handy and want to save some money, we are more than willing to do the hard part and you finish off the landscaping with more DIY friendly jobs.

If you are looking to keep your yard from flooding after it rains consider plants and other key landscaping materials. By using plants and other landscaping you will help your soil absorb and redirect the water. For example, native plants and grasses tend to absorb more water than non-native species. We can help you with native plants and grasses in the Atlanta area. By strategically placing these plants it will significantly help direct water flow and prevent pooling in your yard.

Drainage is an important key to a good landscape

It is always a good idea to check for any local regulations or building codes that may be in place regarding water and drainage management on your property. For example, many areas in the Greater Atlanta area are requiring dry wells/flow wells for all new construction builds. That is just one example. Many areas have guidelines in place to help prevent and manage flooding. It is important to be aware of these before making any changes. With our experience and expertise we are familiar with a lot of the guidelines and can help answer your questions. Our goal is to help you achieve a landscape that you can enjoy without flooding.

They take pride in what they do and it shows

Absolutely Amazing!! Of the 4 companies we received quotes from they were the only ones who offered additional suggestions that we did not ask for, nor did they upcharge us, to wholistically address the drainage issues. Carlos was patient and informative as he explained the process to my mother. The gentlemen who did the work, were fantastic. You could not tell that they had just dug under the ground and connected pipes in our yard. They cut the grass and then reinstalled it meticulously. No dirt, mud or straw all over the place. Everything placed back exactly as it was before. No visible pipes showing on the lawn. They take pride in what they do and it shows.
