French Drains

Grading & Drainage Work

Flat surfaces, clay soil, limestone and other natural terrain can pose water run-off problems for home and business owners. Drenching rains often require changes to yard slope or installation of in ground systems in many locations. Ol' Yeller Landscaping, Inc. installs "French Drains" and develops "Swales" to divert & redirect water (gradually sloping ditches to combat water intrusion in your home or business and in boggy/wet areas in your yard).

Reasons for Good Drainage

Surface and subsurface drainage are essential to maintain turfgrass. Primary reasons for good drainage include:

• Use of the site for recreation in a timely fashion
• Reduce soil compaction and settling
• Improve wear tolerance of turf
• Reduce disease pressure
• Provide oxygen for health turfgrass roots
