Common Signs That You Need Landscape Drainage

A well-maintained lawn and garden make your home look beautiful and inviting and can add a lot of value to your property when it comes time to sell. However, maintaining a healthy lawn and garden is a delicate balancing act: too much water is just as bad as too little. Our experienced drainage specialists know first hand what happens to your garden if you don’t have proper backyard drainage.

If your garden has poor landscape drainage or you are experiencing common drainage problems, it can lead to serious problems like flooding, soil erosion and damage to the garden you have spent so much time perfecting.

Our Landscape Drainage Solutions and Services Throughout Sutherland Shire

Waterlogged, soggy and smelly gardens are unattractive, but it is also a sign that something much more serious is going on. Excess water can lead to extensive soil erosion, unhealthy plants and can even contribute to mildew and mould problems inside your Sutherland Shire home. Our expert team offers a comprehensive range of tailored drainage solutions to protect your home and restore your garden to looking its best.

French Drains

French drains are an incredibly effective subsurface drainage solution designed to protect your home against waterlogging and flooding. This type of drainage is perfect for saturated lawns and gardens and involves a gently sloped, underground trench with a perforated pipe surrounded by gravel and filter fabric. Water seeps into the pipe and directs dirty excess stormwater away from your home.

Trench Drains

Trench drains (sometimes called a channel drain) are a common method for managing surface water away from your home and garden. They are made out of concrete and covered with a grate. Trench drains are most commonly installed in high traffic areas such as driveways, swimming pools and garden paths.

Agriculture Drainage (Agi Drains)

When you think of agricultural drains, you probably think of giant farms and homesteads. However, Agi drains are much more common in residential homes and properties in the Sutherland Shire. This type of landscape drainage is designed to manage and remove excess groundwater that has already settled into the soil, rather than just surface runoff. Agi drains actively help to lower the water table, ensuring healthier soil for plants and long-term stability for your garden and landscaping.

Why Is Landscape Drainage So Important?

Investing in adequate drainage for your garden is an important step in making sure you have a happy and healthy backyard for years to come. Landscape drainage helps to direct excess water away from your home, preventing water and property damage.

Maintaining a Healthy Environment: Effective drainage helps to prevent areas of stagnant water. Leaving stagnant water around your garden can quickly become an unhygienic situation, attracting pests like mosquitoes. Investing in backyard drainage also significantly reduces the risk of waterborne diseases and helps to maintain a healthy living space.

Preventing Property Damage: Landscape drainage systems actively prevent damage to your home, such as flooding, soil erosion and foundational cracks.

Healthy and Happy Plants: By investing in effective and long-lasting landscape drainage solutions, your garden will thank you.

Peace of Mind: Knowing your home and garden are protected from heavy rain and flooding can provide you with peace of mind.
