What Is the Best Landscape Drainage System?

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer to this question. It depends on your property, including the layout of your yard, its slope, and where your utility lines are located. It can take some research to arrive at the right conclusion yourself, or if you’d prefer, Masonry Waterproofing, and Drainage Masters is experienced in choosing the best landscape drainage solutions for homes in the Portland area.

Some of the best solutions for homes in our area include:

• French drains
• Underground gutters
• Trench drains
• Catch basins
• Traditional downspout extensions

How Much Does It Cost to Install a Yard Drainage System?

Once again, it depends on your property and yard drainage needs. Generally speaking, large properties that require more extensive drainage systems will cost more than small properties with smaller systems. But there are a number of other factors that go beyond the size of the system, including:

• Terrain type: Is your land sloped or uneven? If so, it might increase the amount of labor necessary to install your system.
• Soil conditions: Clay or rocky soil is more difficult to excavate, which can also increase the cost of labor.
• Accessibility: If your drainage system needs to be installed in a difficult-to-reach area, it will factor into the cost of your system installation.
• Drain type: French drains are an excellent and seamless long-term solution, but the initial costs might be higher. Whereas solutions like underground gutters and catch basins are more budget-friendly, though perhaps not as elegant or durable.

If we could provide a more accurate estimate right here, we would, but there are simply too many variables to consider. We would be happy to discuss your project and give you an accurate estimate – just give us a call with questions, or to schedule an on-site assessment with one of our expert drainage technicians.

How Do I Fix My Landscape Drainage Problem?

There’s an old saying in the drainage industry – you can’t fool water. Essentially, what this means is that water is going to follow the laws of physics. It will find the lowest possible point, and if there’s nowhere else for it to go, it will remain there, exerting pressure on everything around it. This is how you get standing water and saturated patches, and worse, landscaping damage and even structural damage to your home and its foundation.

Our yard drainage and landscape drainage solutions use physics to your advantage, giving water an alternate path, allowing it to drain harmlessly away from your yard, your house, and your foundation. It’s a simple concept, but it takes years to master, which is why you should rely on an experienced landscape drainage professional rather than attempting it yourself. This is not a project you should consider as a DIY possibility because improper yard drainage can lead to even bigger problems than no drainage system at all.

If you want to fix your yard drainage problems, give the professionals at Masonry Waterproofing, and Drainage Masters a call. We’ll guide you through the process of selecting the best drainage option for your property and install it with unmatched craftsmanship.
