Does your lovely lawn look like a muddy pond after a rainstorm? Do the puddles and soggy mess stick around for days after the rain is long over?
The Ann Arbor area is full of clay soil. Unfortunately, clay soil presents a real landscape challenge. Not only does it deflect water like a rubber seal, when it does absorb water, it can take a very long time for it to dry out. This causes the turf of your lawn to essentially float on top of the water the clay cannot absorb. Unless the slope of your property allows the water to drain off or you have installed the right drainage solutions, you’ll have a soggy lawn and persistent puddles all season.
It is almost impossible to amend clay soil to a level where it will alleviate drainage issues. The only viable solution is to simply work around it by installing appropriate, permanent drainage solutions.
When properly designed, drainage solutions will not only remove the excess water from your lawn, but they will enhance your landscape and protect your home and hardscapes from water damage.
Your first call should be to an experienced drainage and landscape contractor like Twin Oaks Landscape. It’s important to choose a contractor who understands the soil and weather patterns common to your area who also has experience working with clay soils.
