    “We had a water problem in our basement that Mike Ware completely eliminated by removing both our sump pump water and downspout water away from the home. He was professional and highly motivated to solve the problem and do it the right way. I always felt like a priority and that my project mattered. I recommend him without any hesitation.”

    The Landscape Drainage Experts 8 Step Process

    Step 1:  Evaluation and Design

    We assess the problem areas and devise a comprehensive plan to effectively collect water.

    step 1 image
    Step 2:  System Selection

    We determine the most suitable drainage system based on your specific needs, whether it involves burying downspouts and sump pumps, installing French drains to collect water, or implementing a well and pump-assisted system in areas lacking pitch.

    step 2 image
    Step 3:   Digout

    The drainage digout is the hardest and most labor intensive stage of the project. Our French drains are typically 12”-18” deep by 12” wide depending on the amount of pitch we have. We also use a laser level to make sure the system has the proper pitch. The pitch is the most important part of a system because without pitch the system won’t work. When connecting the downspouts we dig 12” deep. In the event of not having gravity and pitch we will use a Well and pump assisted system. This is typically 6 feet deep by 4’x4’ wide, we do this to avoid freezing during the winter.

    step 3 image
    Step 4:  Installation

    Our expert team installs the drainage system precisely where needed. This includes installing French drains with 6″ collection basins every 20′, we use a really hard 4” perforated pipe with filter fabric and 3/4” gravel. This is a very important part of the system because this is what collects and absorbs all of the sitting water. If gravity is lacking, we upgrade to a well and pump-assisted system for efficient water removal.

    step 4 image
    Step 5:  Connect Downspouts

    Connect Downspouts and sump pump into our system: we connect all of downspouts into our system with 9″ collection basins to filter out leaves and debris. We also connect the sump pump into the system so it has a good place to discharge and this will prevent it from ever freezing or flooding the yard.

    step 5 image
    Step 6:  Grading for Effective Drainage

    Proper yard grading toward the French drain is crucial for directing water flow and maximizing system efficiency. We ensure everything is graded away from the house to prevent water buildup.

    step 6 image
    Step 7: Directing Water Flow

    We carefully direct the water flow, either channeling it to a storm sewer or directing it to a low point in the yard with a pop-up emitter, ultimately leading it off the property. In cases where gravity is absent, we utilize a well and pump-assisted system.

    step 7 image
    Step 8: Installing New Sod

    Fresh sod plays a crucial role in facilitating water movement within the drainage system without creating a mess. Moreover, it enhances the overall appearance of your yard, creating an inviting space for making cherished family memories!

    Why You Have a Yard Drainage Problem

    At Ware Landscaping, we prioritize the essential aspect of proper drainage in every project we undertake. We recognize that various factors, sometimes stemming from human error by previous landscapers or property owners, can contribute to yard drainage problems.

    Common causes of water drainage issues include:

    • Improper grading, affecting the slope of your yard.
    • Neighboring yards at higher elevations, leading
      to water runoff into your yard.
    • Downspouts draining directly next to foundations.
    • Unburied or improperly connected sump pumps.
    • Being the low point of the neighborhood,
      resulting in drainage from other yards.
    • Lack of gravity to efficiently move water off your property.
    • Runoff from new construction or larger
      neighboring houses affecting your property.
    While these situations may appear challenging, our specialized drainage system is adept at resolving these problems, simultaneously enhancing the beauty of your yard. We conduct a comprehensive evaluation, devising a custom design for a lasting solution. Our approach includes installing French drains, addressing downspouts and sump pumps, regrading the yard appropriately, directing drainage to low points or storm sewers, and finishing the project with the addition of new sod. You yard will be dry, look amazing and your drainage problem will be solved!

    How Ware Landscaping Can Help With Yard Grading?

    Grading plays a pivotal role in both drainage projects and the overall health of your yard. At Ware Landscaping, we meticulously address grading concerns in every project we undertake. In the context of a French drain project, proper grading is particularly crucial. Without grading the yard away from your house and into the French drain, the drainage system would be ineffective. Ensuring proper grading is accounted for and addressed in every drainage job is essential for the system to operate at its designed capacity.

    “I contacted Mike at Ware Landscaping for help with fixing my flooded backyard and garage. Mike gave me an honest assessment of my situation and recommended the right system to fix my problems (a lot of issues). Ware Landscaping installed drainage, underground downspouts, underground sump pump lines, driveway drains and surface drains in the yard to fix all my problems. The team was very professional and always asked for my approval on work being done before it was completed. They did a great job and we are very pleased!”

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Even if you have a drainage system in place on your property, Ware Landscaping can still solve your water flow problems. Your lawn may be flooding because an underground pipe has broken or because the environmental conditions have changed in a way the system was not designed to handle.

    Many companies that install drainage systems fail to account for fluctuating water table levels or changing water conditions. Due to the installation area or simple regional changes, your current system might need to be repaired or replaced. There may also be a fixable problem causing new drainage issues. A drainage specialist can assess the situation.

    Many people attempt to save money by taking a do-it-yourself approach to drainage issues. Unfortunately, most individuals lack the skills and experience necessary to accurately identify the source of their drainage issues.

    On your own, it’s tough to determine the best, most cost-effective solution; or correctly install a large, complex drainage system. Drainage problems can lead to immense costs down the road, and attempting to fix the issue yourself may not be entirely practical.

    Ultimately, the DIY approach can wind up costing you a lot more money than hiring an experienced team of drainage solutions professionals. At Ware Landscaping, we offer a free initial consultation for your drainage problems so that you can understand the issue before you commit to paying for our services.

    Great question, we design the systems to have release points if at any point a storm sewer backs up it will over flow in the next lowest 6” catch basin which is always far from the house. This is an import part of the design.

    Our systems always help the neighbors because it usually ends up collecting part of their water too.

    We offer a 1 year warranty on all of the sod, if for any reason any pieces don’t make it we will replace them no questions asked.

    We are usually the more expensive option but it’s worth every bit. Our system are the most effective and hands down the best option.

    Abosolutly not, it’s actually the complete opposite! After the system is installed you won’t even be able to tell it was ever installed and all of your water problems will be totally solved.

    you can walk on the yard right away and the crews that cut the yard can cut the grass right away.

    Yes definitely! You will see the leaves getting caught before getting into the system and this will prevent the system from getting clogged.

    It actually helps the neighbors and drys out part of their yard too.

    FANTASTIC JOB!!!

    Ware Landscaping did a FANTASTIC JOB!!! I needed my entire backyard regraded and they filled it in with more than 2 truck loads, installed a French drain and put new beautiful green sod on top. They also power washed and reset my front retaining wall. Communication from the beginning was always very good. We always knew when they were coming out. The project was completed on time as well. They also called on their own a month after the project to check on the sod and were willing to replace some spots due to the June heat wave. Would recommend Ware Landscaping to all!!!”

    The entire crew were incredible, so friendly, knowledgeable, and paid attention to every detail.

    “Mike, Greg and the rest of the crew made our back yard dream a reality with a drainage system to remove the stream that flowed through the middle of the yard, which flooded every rainstorm and stuck around for weeks. To complete the look in came a perfectly designed beautiful hardscape patio that we can’t wait to use this summer. The entire crew were incredible, so friendly, knowledgeable, and paid attention to every detail. Highly recommend!”

    The crew was fast, friendly, and tidy.

    “We had a wooden deck for a front porch that was starting to age. When we removed it we saw that there was a concrete slab underneath it that was pitched toward our house, creating an issue with standing water up against our foundation. We had Mike come by to advise us on the best solution, and he suggested permeable pavers. We were able to come up with a custom design with him that day. The crew was fast, friendly, and tidy. I’m sure they do much bigger jobs than our little patio, but this project made a huge difference for our home.
