It goes without saying that regular watering is an essential component of any successful yard. Water is absolutely necessary for the growth of plants and maintaining the fertility of soil.
However, there is certainly such a thing as having too much water.
If excessive water enters your yard, perhaps through a heavy rain or an ineffective gutter/drainpipe system there can be a number of unfortunate drainage problems as a result. Standing water can develop, which can lead to your plants being suffocated.
It can also cause leakage, damaging your home’s foundation and potentially infiltrating your basement, which can lead to a whole host of difficulties. There are a number of potential solutions to this problem. You can, for example, re-grade your yard to keep water from pooling in inconvenient places.
However, for some re-grading is not an option. For them, trench drainage might be the answer. Installing a French drain in your yard really can make a huge amount of difference.
French drains are constructed of three main components:
These three elements work in tandem to ensure the effectiveness of the French drain.
Optimally, French drains should be installed in areas where you have noticed excess water pooling or leakage occurring.
