“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.”

How the Yard 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.

Yard Drainage: Frequently Asked Questions

What Is a French Drain?

The most popular yard drain, the French drain is an excellent option for both commercial and residential properties and requires little to no maintenance. Flat yards with excess water problems can greatly benefit from a French drain yard drainage system.

The French drain works by removing and diverting excess water away from property foundations and low-lying areas. French drains are installed underground, include a system of long trenches and underground perforated pipes that redirect and disperse stormwater runoff and excess water, and are covered with water absorbent, eco-friendly mulch or gravel.

How can organic mulch improve my yard drainage?

Organic mulch absorbs excess water, allows its vital nutrients to reach your soil, and infiltrates soil to provide needed water to plant roots. This promotes soil health, improves soil structure, increases weed control, and reduces water runoff. Organic mulch also enhances your landscaping features.

What are the main causes of poor drainage?

The main causes of poor yard drainage can include the following:

Broken sewer lines
Clogged drains
Clogged gutters or downspouts
Compacted or eroded soil
Improperly graded yard
Lack of drainage system
No connection between sump pump and drainage system
Poor installation of drainage system
