Too Much Standing Water?

If you have a problem with standing water or areas that tend to flood or any water flowing towards the house you may be in need of a landscape drainage system.

French Drains: A Misconception
French drains are usually not the best way to solve the problem. They tend to get clogged up over time. Even if the drainage pipe is covered with a sock.

The best solution we have found is using silt-trap plastic boxes. These boxes are designed to be installed at the surface with either a green or black lid to blend in with lawns or beds.
Each box should be placed on 4" of gravel and have a hole drilled through it for mosquito control.
Sometimes the boxes are connected to a pipe that runs to a gutter down-spout ABS rain-drain pipe.
