Batavia Landscaping & Yard Drainage Experts

Batavia residents are no strangers to changing weather. With all the snow, rain, and ice you get each year, it’s common for homes and businesses in this charming Illinois city to have
yard drainage problems. If you want your property to stay in good shape, you have to keep excess water and moisture
from setting in. The best way to do that is by hiring yard drainage specialists.

Water damage can cost thousands of dollars in repairs. Rather than stress over your property’s drainage issues, get peace of mind with the experts at Ware Landscaping. We’ve been solving Batavia’s lawn drainage problems for over two decades.

“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 Causes of Poor Yard Drainage

There can be a number of factors that cause your yard to start flooding. Pooling water isn’t the only sign of drainage problems, though. Keep an eye out for these other common signs:

Compacted soil that contains lots of clay and leads to erosion
Incorrect lawn sloping or grading
Fences or decks that are improperly installed
Poorly maintained downspouts
Drains full of debris such as leaves or trash
Overflowing gutters
Moist or wet basement

Your lawn’s drainage system can be a big hassle if it’s not installed and maintained correctly. When you start noticing problems that could be related to your yard drain, you should call drainage professionals right away.

Our drainage experts will be able to identify the underlying causes of poor drainage and fix them. If you’re unfamiliar with drainage systems, you shouldn’t try to resolve the problem yourself. You could end up just
making it worse.

Batavia Drainage Services

We offer a range of yard drainage solutions that help make your lawn healthy and attractive again. Your property may not be suited for a particular type of drain — but our experts can tell you exactly which solution will work best for your property.

French Drain

If water is getting into your basement, you’re putting in a retaining wall on a hillside, or you have surface water on your lawn, you need a French drain. This type of drain extends along the house’s perimeter and diverts water away. Installing one involves digging trenches and laying pipes full of gravel.

Dry Well

Dry wells help get rid of pooling water in your yard the natural way. They take water from one area and relocate it to another. Dry wells are useful for stormwater management and you can install one near each downspout.

Corrugated Tubes

Corrugated tubes help direct water away from your home or business. They can prevent water from filling up low areas by diverting it to gardens or landscaped areas that need more watering. This can be an efficient way to keep your lawn looking healthy.

Lawn Grading

To solve some drainage problems, you might need to regrade your lawn. This involves changing the slope of the land so water does not flow toward a house or business. Properly graded lawns can help prevent foundation cracks and water accumulation in low areas.

Why Hire Drainage Professionals?

Drainage experts help keep your yard healthy and avoid costly repairs. Clogged or improperly functioning drains can lead to cracked foundations or moldy basements — which end up costing you more in the long run.

Hiring experts to take care of the yard drainage problems at your Batavia home or business has several other benefits as well, including:

Keeping your lawn healthy and visually appealing
Removing standing water and excess moisture
Preventing water damage to your home or business
Keeping away insects that breed in standing water, such as mosquitoes
Maximizing the usable space in your yard by getting rid of waterlogged areas
Increasing your property value
Peace of mind knowing your drainage problems are taken care of

Most people don’t give their lawn’s drainage system a second thought. When it’s functioning properly, there’s no need to think about your yard drains. When something goes wrong, though, it can be a big, noticeable problem.

At Ware Landscaping, we make that problem go away. We evaluate your drain situation and implement a solution so you don’t have to worry about it anymore.

How our Drainage Magic Unfolds

What people are saying

Ware Landscaping & Snow Removal

They did a great job and we are very pleased!

“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!”

Jim Kristof

I recommend him without any hesitation.

Michael Swider

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!!!”

Dan Malloy

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!”

Katie Jankowski

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.

FAQs

Who installs yard drainage?

You should call a landscaping professional when you’re having problems with drainage in your yard. Issues such as poor soil irrigation, neglected or damaged gutters, or improper lawn grading can all lead to pooling water on your lawn. These are the types of problems that landscapers can deal with.

Where can you put a drain in your yard?

You put a drain directly into the ground in areas that are prone to flooding. The drain should release excess water into a waste area, street, municipal drain, or another part of your property that needs watering. When our drainage professionals install a drain in your yard, they’ll be able to identify the ideal location for it.

Why is my yard pooling water after heavy rain?

Your yard is pooling water after heavy rain because of poor drainage. This can happen if the soil is compacted or if the yard is not sloped properly to let water flow away. If the water collects near your home’s foundation, it could cause moisture problems in your basement or crawlspace.

How to get a lawn to drain better?

To get your lawn to drain better, you can try a few things. Fill in any low spots, aerate the soil to help water soak in, or install a French drain to move water away. You can also build a rain garden or create a swale to direct water flow. Adding a dry creek bed can help too. Lastly, make sure your gutters are clean and add downspouts if needed.

How to drain a wet area in a yard?

To drain a wet area in your yard, you can use swales, French drains, catch basins, or downspout extensions to direct water away. You can also collect and store runoff using rain barrels, cisterns, dry wells, or create a rain garden to help manage the water.
