Naperville, IL gets a lot of rain and snow–and property owners have to deal with the mess!
As part of Chicagoland, Naperville receives 39.2 inches of precipitation in an average year, which is significantly more than the US national average–30.2 inches.
All of this water has to have somewhere to go. Even though Naperville has an excellent stormwater management system, the standing water at some properties struggles to get to the stormwater system.
That’s when you end up with a landscaping drainage problem.
Ware Landscaping offers landscape drainage services for homeowners and commercial property owners in Naperville. We alleviate the stress of drainage problems and help you achieve the beautiful landscaping you dream of.
First, let’s talk about how to know if you have a drainage problem in the first place.
Immediately after a major storm, a little bit of standing water is okay–if it goes away quickly. Standing water that stays for hours, or even days? That’s a sign of a big problem.
Here are some other indicators of drainage issues at your home or business:
There are a number of things that can cause drainage problems, but most of them fit into one of the following four categories: sullage, stormwater, floodwater, and natural water.
Drainage issues can cause long-term damage to your home, business, or property.
It can ruin your yard, cause permanent damage to your basement or home, cheat you from opportunities to enjoy your yard, and create an eyesore to the community. Standing water can even create health hazards.
Don’t hesitate when it comes to having your drainage problems checked out by an expert. At Ware Landscaping, we can identify the problem (or problems!) and help you develop an effective plan for remedying everything that is causing flooding, standing water, erosion, a bare lawn, and more.
Drainage is not a “one size fits all” situation. That’s why we never use a “one size fits all” approach. Instead, we create a plan that meets your needs, your dreams, and your budget.
Some of our drainage solutions include:
If you have noticed drainage problems in your yard or lawn, you may be tempted to solve the problem on your own. After all, there are lots of DIY videos and guides out there.
Unfortunately, we have a lot of experience with coming into failed DIY situations to try to fix what went wrong. We don’t blame anybody for giving it a try, but we also know that landscape drainage issues are complicated and often need an expert’s attention.
Often, people who try to fix their yard issues themselves end up spending more money and causing more damage in the long run than if they had just hired a professional landscaping service in the first place!

Any time you see mud, leaves, sticks, or other debris blocking the drain grate, it’s time to clean the drain. In Naperville, consistent rain and snow means you will want to regularly clean out the grate. Ideally, that’s every month–but many property owners do just fine by cleaning it out twice a year.
If your drain’s termination area is on your property (as opposed to going into a stormwater system), be sure to clean out anything that blocks the space where the water is released.
