Water is essential for a healthy lawn, but too much of it can spell disaster. Poor drainage leads to waterlogged soil, plant disease, and even structural damage to your property. If you’ve ever noticed standing water in your yard after heavy rain, it’s time to consider professional yard drainage solutions.

At Unlimited Landscaping, we design drainage systems that protect your lawn, enhance your landscape, and keep your property safe year-round.

Improper drainage is more than an eyesore—it can cause lasting harm.
Common issues include:

• Root rot in grass, shrubs, and trees
• Soil erosion that damages landscaping
• Pest problems from standing water
• Foundation damage due to excess moisture
• Slippery surfaces that create safety hazards

Addressing these problems early prevents costly repairs and preserves your home’s value.

2. Common Drainage Solutions for Homeowners

Every property is different, and the right solution depends on your yard’s layout, soil type, and water flow.

• French Drains: Channels water away from low spots and foundations.
• Channel Drains: Ideal for driveways and patios to prevent pooling.
• Catch Basins & Grates: Collect and redirect rainwater efficiently.
• Sump Pump Systems: Protect basements and lower levels from flooding.
