Is your yard soggy after every rain? Are you noticing pooling water, muddy spots, or dying grass? You might have a yard drainage problem—and ignoring it could lead to serious damage. At CO Landscaping & Natural Stone, we offer expert drainage and resloping services in the Chicago area to protect your landscape and home. Here’s why drainage is so important—and how we can help fix it.
1. Prevent Damage to Your Foundation
When water collects near your home, it can seep into the foundation, causing cracks, leaks, and basement flooding. Proper grading and drainage systems direct water safely away from your house. This simple fix can save you thousands in repairs.
2. Protect Your Lawn and Plants
Excess moisture drowns roots and encourages fungus, leading to unhealthy grass and dead plants. A well-drained yard supports plant health, reduces disease, and keeps your landscape looking its best.
3. Avoid Erosion and Uneven Ground
Heavy rain and poor drainage can wash away soil, leaving behind uneven patches and exposed roots. This affects not just the look of your yard, but the safety of walkways and outdoor features. We provide grading and resloping services to stabilize and level your land.
4. Keep Mosquitoes and Pests Away
Standing water is a breeding ground for mosquitoes and other insects. Proper drainage helps eliminate these problem areas, making your yard safer and more enjoyable during warm weather.
5. Prepare for Future Landscaping Projects
Thinking about a new patio, retaining wall, or flower garden? Drainage should come first. Laying the right foundation ensures long-term success for any landscape upgrade.
