We have experienced a lot of rain in the past few weeks. In addition to scrambling to finish end -of-the-year irrigation blow-outs, drainage should be on your mind. Although the weather has cooled, the work is not yet over. Those looking to fit in a few last minute projects should consider drainage.Â
Pooling water in a homeowner’s yard is never a wanting thing. In many cases the water rolls down from a neighbor’s yard and resides in the lower lying space along the property line. Regardless, this is a problem you can resolve before the mosquitoes return in the spring. According to Ryan Larsen, a civil engineer at NDS, “recommends using an underground drainage system (illustrated below) to safely and efficiently drain water that is flowing into your yard from a neighboring property. It consists of: two round NDS Spee-D basins with two atrium grates to collect surface water with molded in connection for drain pipe; two NDS EZ-Drain pre-fabricated, gravel-free trench drains that connect the components of the drainage system and carry the water to a safe release point; and an NDS pop-up emitter that provides an overflow release point for all excess water to drain from the drainage system.” As illustrated below, this design is quick and easy to install.
