Drainage problems aren’t just unsightly; they can also cause costly damage to your property. Excess water can leave puddles, create muddy spots, and dampen the soil, wreaking havoc with your landscaping. It can also head straight to your home’s foundation, causing cracks, flooding and even a soaked basement.

Gravel and drainage repair experts are a natural solution to these issues, managing excess water by creating pathways that direct water downward and away from the house, walkways, gardens and other areas of your yard. There are a variety of gravel and rock options available, depending on the needs of your landscaping project. For example, pea gravel is often used to promote drainage on lawns. This type of gravel is fine and small, allowing water to flow easily through it. However, for certain projects, larger gravel may be needed to prevent clogging and ensure efficient drainage.

Another option is to use a decomposed granite, which has been broken down into smaller pieces. This rock is effective at preventing mud buildup in gravel driveways, improving traction and reducing the spread of mud onto vehicles and other surfaces. It can be purchased loose or with a stabilizer mixed in to last longer and reduce the need for regular replacements.

For retaining wall drainage, we recommend adding weep holes to the base of the wall. These holes help water escape, reducing pressure and preventing damage to the wall. Regular inspections can catch any issues early and keep your retaining wall functioning properly.
