Say Goodbye to Flooded Yards: Expert Drainage Solutions That Work

If heavy rains leave your yard full of standing water or you’re constantly dealing with soggy lawns, it’s time to consider professional drainage solutions. Poor drainage can cause serious damage to your property, leading to foundation issues, landscape erosion, and even pest infestations. At Green Matters Outdoor Design, we specialize in designing and installing customized drainage systems to keep your yard dry, functional, and beautiful year-round.


French Drains & Underground Drainage Systems

One of the most effective ways to redirect excess water away from your home and yard is with a

French drain system. This solution involves installing a perforated pipe beneath the ground, covered with gravel, to collect and move water away from areas prone to flooding. French drains are ideal for yards with poor soil drainage and can protect your home’s foundation from water damage.

For properties that require a more extensive drainage solution, we offer underground drainage pipe installation. These systems connect to downspouts or existing drains, preventing water from pooling near your home. By channeling excess water safely away, you can prevent erosion, slippery surfaces, and landscape damage.


Yard Grading & Sloping for Natural Water Flow

If your yard constantly collects water, improper grading might be the issue. Poorly sloped landscapes cause rainwater to settle in low-lying areas rather than draining away naturally. Our

grading and sloping services

reshape your lawn to encourage water to flow in the right direction, preventing flooding and muddy patches.

We carefully assess your property’s elevation and adjust slopes to create a natural drainage path. Whether you need minor grading adjustments or a complete releveling of your yard, our team ensures the solution blends seamlessly with your landscape design.


Dry Creek Beds & Retaining Wall Drainage

For a more decorative approach to water management, dry creek beds provide both function and aesthetics. These rock-lined channels mimic the look of a natural stream, directing water runoff away from problem areas while enhancing your landscape. Dry creek beds are a great option for properties with heavy runoff or erosion issues.

In addition, if you have retaining walls on your property, ensuring proper retaining wall drainage is crucial. Without the right drainage behind the wall, water buildup can lead to structural failure. We install weep holes, drainage pipes, and backfill materials that allow water to escape safely, protecting your investment and keeping your yard stable.


Gutter Downspout Extensions & Sump Pumps

Many drainage problems start at the roof. If your gutters dump water too close to your foundation, you may experience basement flooding or soil erosion. Our

gutter downspout extensions redirect rainwater away from your home, reducing the risk of water damage. These simple but effective solutions help maintain your foundation’s integrity and keep your landscaping intact.

For homes with persistent water issues, sump pump installation can provide an extra layer of protection. Sump pumps actively remove water from low-lying areas, preventing basement flooding and excess moisture buildup. Our team can recommend the best system for your needs and ensure professional installation for long-term performance.
