Grading, French Drains, Catch Basins and Runoff Management
Green Roots provides yard drainage solutions in Tampa for landscapes affected by standing water, runoff, low areas and soil erosion. We evaluate how water moves through the property before recommending grading, French drains, catch basins, channel drains or downspout connections.
Drainage should be planned before new sod, plants, pavers or artificial turf are installed so completed work does not need to be removed later.
Drainage planning begins by observing elevations, low areas, roof runoff, hard surfaces and the direction water enters and leaves the property.
The right solution depends on the source of the problem rather than applying the same drain layout to every yard.
Underground drainage and grade corrections should be completed before new finished surfaces. Planning early helps prevent new sod, pavers or artificial turf from being removed to correct an existing water problem.
Depending on the site, a drainage plan may use grading, French drains, catch basins, channel drains or downspout connections to collect and redirect water.
Pavers, turf and walls work best when base preparation, drainage, irrigation and planting are coordinated around them.
