Effective Drainage Installation Solutions In Vancouver, Washington

For many residents in Vancouver, Washington, outdoor space is an extension of a beautiful well-kept home. Your lawn, trees, and plants are an accent to your home and an attractive yard provides additional space for entertaining and family activities. Unfortunately, a combination of occasional heavy rains and clay-like soil can leave you with areas that are spongy and muddy instead of lush and green. The terrain and changing weather in Vancouver, WA and the surrounding Washington areas can make enjoying the outdoors a challenge. However, there are ways to eliminate the standing water on your property and take your yard back.

A Variety Of Drainage Installation Solutions For Your Unique Property

Simple Lawns and Landscape Design is a full-service landscaping company that understands the local climate and terrain. We also believe that your outdoor space is an important part of your home. You shouldn't have to spend all your time indoors due to erosion, mud, standing water, or flooding. Our expert team can get to the root of the problem and provide the drainage installation solutions you need so you can enjoy the stunning resort-like landscape you deserve.

Diagnosing drainage issues can be a challenge. It's common for landscapes to have standing water or muddy areas even when the weather is fair. Often, the problem is more about your landscape than how often you see rainfall. That's why it's important to have drainage installation solutions designed for your unique property. Our team has a wealth of local experience and training. We understand the local climate and terrain and many of the drainage issues local residents face. This knowledge means we can find the right solutions for every customer. These are some of the most common drainage installation solutions we provide to our Vancouver, Washington customers.

French Drains

When water pools around your home, a French drain can provide an attractive solution. With the use of a perforated pipe installed in a gravel bed, French drains use gravity to direct water away from your home. This drainage installation technique can be used in combination with other tools like a sump pump or rain garden for a complete landscape drainage solution.

Dry Creek Beds

Often, excess water simply needs a place to go. Dry creek beds create a place alongside the perimeter of your lawn to direct excess water from heavy rains. When this water is redirected, you don't have to worry about your lawn staying soggy for days or weeks after a storm. Dry creek beds are often enhanced with gravel, small boulders, river rock, and natural landscaping features to make an attractive addition to your landscape. 

Drainage Systems

  • Soil Amendments: Soil compaction is a common cause of drainage issues. Healthy, well-aerated soil helps you avoid standing water in your yard or driveway. Our team can till sand, gravel, or compost into your soil to create layers that allow soil to drain naturally.
  • Sump Pumps: When you can't depend on gravity alone to remove standing water, you may need a sump pump. A sump pump may be installed to pump standing water from a basement or other depression to an area where it can be drained.
  • Channel Drains: When standing water is an issue around parking areas, paved patios, and driveways, a channel drain can provide the solution. Grates are installed where water collects to direct water to the nearest storm drain.
