Why Good Lawn Drainage is Essential in Your Irrigation System to Help Your Landscape Flourish
Posted: Feb 19, 2015
Whilst having good commercial or residential irrigation systems present at your Dallas, Texas, property is beneficial to the garden, having poor lawn drainage can reverse these positive effects. It is essential to have good lawn drainage as part of your irrigation system if you want to save money, have an environmentally friendly garden setup and of course see your garden flourish. A system without a properly designed and implemented drainage system can experience puddles and pools forming and soggy lawn after a rain storm or regular irrigation processes - but that's not all.
Few gardens have a consistent, even slope. If you are walking around your property and notice that certain areas and patches are wet and soggy, it could mean that you have lawn drainage problems. An experienced irrigation specialist will be able to determine how to solve the problem. A possible solution could be installing a piping system that would deliver the water from your grass away to your home. Not only does this ensure that your lawn will flourish, but it also ensures that water doesn't damage the foundations of your home.
Poor lawn drainage can also result in the following:
-Valuable and nutrient rich top soil can get carried away.
-Expensive plants and even landscape designs can become damaged and ruined as soil washes away or water clogs the soil (too much water can be detrimental to the health of many plants).
-Excess water can find its way to your basement and cause damp issues.
With a good drainage system only excess water will drain away via a system that is designed specifically to cater to your garden and its landscape. This means your plants will receive the correct amount of water which puts them in the best possible position to flourish and grow.
