Landscaping in Atlanta is exciting. Planning your dream yard and imagining your family and friends enjoying the great outdoors together. Especially if you just bought a new construction home. You are looking forward to turning your house into a home, and part of that is creating a landscape of your dreams. Venyscapes, Atlanta’s top rated landscaping company, can help. As an Atlanta resident, you probably are aware of the amount of rain we get each year. With rain comes landscape drainage issues. Planning landscape drains is just as important as planning the fun stuff. Dry wells are an important part of drainage systems. Water is something we all need to survive. It gives us nourishment, hydration, and a cool place to be on a hot day. But too much of a good thing is no longer a good thing. No one wants a flooded yard. 

What is a Dry Well?

A dry well is an underground structure that gets rid of unwanted water by leading it to a new location. Dry wells are covered with porous walls. This type of system allows the water to percolate through the walls and leads it further underground.

Dry wells are often built in yards. They are powered by gravity and can be attached to more than one pipe or source. There isn’t one exit either as the tiny porous holes are placed throughout the system. 

This allows for a slow and steady release that doesn’t need much maintenance. Though a large reservoir or tank is often needed so that the water can always escape. When it rains, for example, the tank will fill fast if it doesn’t drain fast enough.

When to Add a Dry Well?

It can be difficult to decide when it’s a good time to add a dry well. But the answer is fairly simple. If you have water pooling in your yard, then a dry well is a great way to get rid of it in a natural way.

Dry wells are usually paired with drains of some kind that can relocate the water to the dry well. Then it can release into the ground from there. Dry wells are useful both in yards with soil and concrete pads.
