Several types of lawn drainage systems are designed to address a specific issue. Some of the most common types include:
French Drains
French drains are one of the more common drainage systems. Like a trench drain, a French drain helps divert water runoff away from foundations and other structures. It includes a small trench approximately four feet deep filled with rock and gravel and a perforated pipe that naturally diverts water from your yard.
Surface Drains
Also referred to as catch basins or area drains, surface drains collect water into a small basin and channel it away from the property with a length of pipe. They work well on driveways and patios where the landscape is flat and prone to standing water. Catch basins may also have drainage pumping systems to help divert water away from the property.
Channel Drains
Channel or trench drains are long grated drains typically used for areas with large volumes of sheet-flow runoff, such as driveways and walkways. Rather than funnel the water into a tiny location, the channel drain works well on large surface areas.
Swales
Swales are eco-friendly grassy channels guiding water into a rain or drainage basin. They help reduce erosion and offer a natural appearance that blends with the surrounding landscape. Swales tend to follow the base of a natural slope to redirect water as it soaks into the surrounding soil.
Downspout Drains
Downspout extensions attach to gutters to take roof runoff away from the foundation. This is one of the best fixes for water buildup near the base of the home. It is typically combined with other types of drainage systems.
