Nobody wants their yard to be a puddle after a good rain. For many reasons, some landscaping projects require installing a drainage system on your property. You may decide that you need an irrigation system, including backflow prevention, as part of your irrigation plan. Drainage and erosion control is not only a practical necessity but can also be an attractive part of your property design. Supreme Enterprise LLC specializes in resolving drainage and erosion problems. Ask us about our drainage and erosion control services.
If you live in Western Kentucky, you’re probably well aware of the challenges of dealing with drainage problems. After all, it’s not uncommon for the water to pool on your property and cause damage. In some cases, this can even lead to erosion.
Overwatering or Incorrect Watering
When a tree is overwatered, the roots can’t absorb the water fast enough and run off the soil surface. This causes erosion and creates puddles on your lawn. If too much water is in your lawn, you can add more sand or compost to help absorb excess moisture.
Underground Drip Irrigation Systems
Drip irrigation systems effectively water trees and plants without wasting or creating runoff issues. The drip lines are installed underground next to the plant; you only apply as much water as your plant needs at any given time. These systems are especially useful for large trees with more than one sprinkler head.
Mulch Applications
Mulch helps prevent erosion by keeping soil in place while improving moisture retention by providing a barrier between the soil and rainwater runoff. Mulch is available in many materials, including wood chips, bark mulch, composted bark mulch, shredded leaves, peat moss, and plastic sheeting.
Drainage Off the Roof Can Wreak Havoc
Western Kentucky is a beautiful area, but you may not realize how much water flows off your roof or pavement. As water flows off your home, it can cause erosion and puddles to form. This water can also create problems if it backs up into your yard or travels down your driveway and into the street.
The roof is an important aspect of any home or building. It protects us from the elements while providing a place to live and work. However, keeping the roof in good condition is important to do its job properly. If you have any issues with your roof’s drainage system or gutters, you may see significant damage on your property and inside your home or office building. Roof drainage issues can cause water damage throughout your property, including wet floors, walls, and ceilings which can pose serious health risks for animals and humans alike!
Stop Your Neighbor’s Water Woes From Becoming Yours
You may think your neighbor’s problem will never affect you – but it could! If left unchecked, erosion can cause damage not only to their home but yours if it isn’t handled quickly enough. That’s why you must stop their water woes from becoming yours by doing two things: taking preventative steps now and installing proper drainage systems in the future so this doesn’t happen again.
Be Proactive About Yard Drainage and Erosion Control
Don’t let water sit around on your property — use permeable surfaces like mulch or gravel instead of impermeable ones like concrete or stone. These materials allow water to seep into the ground when it rains instead of pooling up on your lawn and running off into the street.
If you have a problem with puddles after a rainstorm, try installing a sump pump under your driveway or garage floor drain to divert excess water from the driveway before reaching the street. Sump pumps are available at any home improvement store or online retailer; just make sure you choose one that meets local codes (they should be UL-listed).
Implement Drainage and Erosion Control Services
Drainage and erosion control services can help minimize these issues’ impact on your landscape. Western Kentucky is a region of low-lying areas that experience flooding during heavy rains. Drainage systems help remove excess water from a property and direct it to a more suitable location for absorption. This process reduces the amount of water that enters the storm sewer system and prevents flooding in areas where it does not belong.
Erosion control services minimize damage caused by erosion, which can lead to expensive repairs if left untreated. Erosion control helps prevent soil loss due to heavy rains or wind by creating barriers that protect against erosion hazards such as steep slopes, waterfalls, and other areas prone to erosion.
