French Drains & Yard DrainageIn Dallas, GA & surrounding areas

Standing water in a yard is almost never a lawn problem. It is a grade problem or a water-volume problem, and no amount of seed or sod fixes either one.

Drainage Solutions work by Southern Skies Outdoor Services in Dallas, GA

How we solve wet yards

We start by finding where the water is coming from — roof runoff, a neighbor’s grade, a low spot with nowhere to go — and then pick the fix that matches the volume.

  • French drains: trenched, fabric-lined, perforated pipe set in clean stone
  • Downspout extensions piped away from the foundation
  • Catch basins and surface drains at low points
  • Regrading and swales to redirect sheet flow
  • Erosion control on slopes and bare banks
  • Daylight outlets or pop-up emitters where the water can safely leave

Why the stone and fabric matter

A French drain is not just a pipe in a ditch. Without filter fabric, clay silts the stone in and the drain quits working in a couple of seasons. We line the trench, set the pipe in washed stone, wrap it, and backfill so the system keeps taking water years from now.

Protecting the foundation

Most of the drainage calls we take start with water getting into a crawlspace or basement, or a soggy strip along the back of the house that never dries. Moving that water is far cheaper than repairing what it does if you leave it.
