If standing water and a soggy yard seem to plague your Wheaton property, you probably have a yard drainage issue. Some of the most common signs of drainage problems include:
A faulty or improperly installed yard drainage system can cause you major stress. Don’t add to your stress by attempting to solve the issues yourself — call an expert for any needed repairs.
Every yard in Wheaton is unique, and therefore requires a tailored drainage service. We don’t expect you to know every drainage system available or the specific needs of your yard. That’s why Ware Landscaping will fully assess your property and discuss your options with you before helping you to select appropriate drains. Some of the most common drainage systems include:
Corrugated pipes are often used in rural or spacious yards as they can direct water to specific areas of your yard. In other words, if you have gardens or livestock feeding areas in need of diverted water, corrugated pipes may help. The installation process is relatively easy, and the pipes are placed underground. Holes drilled in the pipes allow for drainage as water is carried away from your home and topsoil and into the deeper layers of soil.
Spring and summer storms can prove problematic for Wheaton yards without a proper drainage system. Dry wells are fantastic solutions for stormwater runoff. Water is diverted away from your property into an underground well and then redistributed as nourishment for the soil.
The dry well system also prevents the runoff of debris and sediment from your yard into local water ecosystems. If heavy rain or snow melt-off in Wheaton enters rivers and lakes, dry wells prevent pollution from your yard from doing the same.
Winter weather presents another challenge for Wheaton homeowners. Excess snow and ice buildup can lead to drainage issues, blocked pathways, and safety hazards. That’s why, in addition to expert yard drainage solutions, we offer snow removal in Wheaton to help keep your property clear and accessible during the colder months.
A French drain is a great fix for most flooded yards, This particular drainage system has deep trenches with gravel-filled pipes and downward spouts. The gravel prevents sediment, clay-like soil, and debris from clogging the pipes and damming water.
Excess water from your yard or home is excreted and dispersed through the French drain, and diverted from your home. Slow draining water flows underground, and is prevented from creating problematic flooding or standing waters. Homes with retaining walls and hilly or sloping yards benefit from the French drain. French drains require little to no maintenance.

Some vital facts to know about Wheaton yard drainage systems include:
Yard drainage systems can fluctuate in cost based on the difficulty of installation and the damage your property has already incurred. However, a free assessment could give you a fairly accurate estimate of the cost.
If you have mildew, mold, and rot issues in your home due to flooding or standing water, or your yard has significant soil erosion, these issues could prove far more expensive to repair than a properly installed yard drain.
The most common yard drainage system is the French drain, due to the relatively easy installation and maintenance, and the system’s effectiveness.There are several effective drainage solutions and one of the most common is the French drain. Other Wheaton yard drainage system options include corrugated tubes and dry wells.
As all yards vary in size and dimension, the most important guidelines to follow have to do with depth. For example, a French drain should measure at least 1.5 feet deep and between 9 and 12 inches wide. Depending on the depth of your yard and size of your property, you may want to consider going deeper and wider.
Answering the following questions about issues in your Wheaton yard can help you determine whether or not you need expert assistance:
To drain a yard with no slope, start by marking a path for the water to follow. Then, dig a shallow trench that slopes gently to redirect water away from problem areas. You can enhance the look and stability of the area by adding pebbles or planting grass and other vegetation along the trench.
To reduce runoff on your sloped yard, start by evaluating the slope and making adjustments as needed. You can install terraces or retaining walls to help slow down the water flow. Creating contour swales and using mulch can also be effective. Planting ground cover, setting up rain gardens, and considering hydroseeding will help absorb water. Additionally, installing drip irrigation and using permeable surfaces can further minimize runoff while practicing proper watering techniques.
To locate the main water line in your yard, start by walking around your home and looking for water pipes that go into the ground. Typically, you’ll find it near the water meter on the street side of your property.
As a Wheaton homeowner, you shouldn’t have to deal with the stress of disastrous yard issues on your own. Don’t avoid the issues until it’s too late. Contact the yard drainage experts at Ware Landscaping to ensure your yard remains beautiful.
