Drainage Installation Solutions for Your Portland, Oregon Property
When it comes to the forecast, Portland, Oregon residents can count on rain sometime in the near future. While this is great for plant, tree, and grass growth, it can wreak havoc on your soil and other aspects of your landscape. Without the proper drainage channels, a wealth of rain combined with heavy, slippery clay soils can lead to erosion, flooding, and mudslides on your property. You can't control the weather, but that doesn't mean you have to live with the mess.
Simple Lawns & Landscape Design is a full-service landscaping company that believes your outdoor space is a vital part of your home. Sure, the weather in the area can create challenges, but our team is happy to rise to those challenges to help our customers enjoy stunning landscapes with resort-like comfort. If you're dealing with erosion, mud, or flooding on your Portland, Oregon property, we can help.
A Variety of Drainage Installation Solutions to Meet Your Unique Needs
Every property is different, and you need drainage installation solutions to fit your unique Portland, OR property. Our team has a wealth of local experience and training, so we can provide the right drainage installation solution for every customer. Some of our most common drainage installation services include the following.
French Drains
An attractive solution that uses gravity to eliminate excess water, French drains are a common solution to remove excess water from around your home. French drains consist of a perforated pipe installed in a gravel bed. They can be combined with sump pumps or rain gardens for a complete solution to a variety of drainage issues.
Dry Creek Beds
Dry creek beds are often created at the perimeter of your yard or alongside your home to give excess water a place to go. After heavy rains, water pools in dry creek beds and gradually sinks into the ground. Your dry creek bed can include gravel, small boulders, or river rock, and accented with native landscaping features for an attractive addition to your lawn.
Drainage Systems
- Sump Pumps: A sump pump is installed to pump standing water from a basement or other depression to a suitable outlet point where water can be properly drained.
- Soil Amendments: Healthy, well-aerated soil allows water to drain properly into the ground to help you avoid standing water in your yard and driveway. Our team can till sand, gravel, or compost into your soil that will create layers that allow soil to naturally drain away excess water.
- Channel Drains: Grates and channel drains installed in depressions on your property can be a solution for drainage around parking areas, concrete patios, and paved driveways. Grates are installed at the trouble spot and water is rerouted to storm drains or other outlet.
