A poorly drained and uneven yard can lead to water pooling, dead grass, structural issues, and incidents.
You must take action if you have muddy patches, erosion, or standing water.
Georgia Landscaping and Hardscaping LLC has transformed countless landscapes with severe drainage issues. Whether standing water is drowning your lawn, uneven ground is creating tripping hazards, or soil erosion is ruining your garden beds, we’ve seen it all—and fixed it all.
Let’s dive into the best strategies for leveling and draining your yard to protect your lawn, improve walkability, and boost curb appeal.
If your yard collects water after every rainfall, it’s not just bad luck—it’s likely due to:
✅ Poor Grading – Water isn’t directed away from your home correctly.
✅ Compacted Soil – Hard, dense soil won’t absorb rain, causing puddles.
✅ Clogged Drainage Paths – Debris buildup blocks water from flowing freely.
✅ Tree Roots & Landscaping Features – Poorly placed trees, patios, or walkways can interfere with drainage.
These problems make your yard a swampy mess, damage your home’s foundation, attract pests, and weaken your grass and plants.
A homeowner contacted us with a practically unusable yard. Water pooled near the foundation, grass wouldn’t grow, and walking through the lawn meant sinking ankle-deep in mud.
We re-sloped the yard, ensuring water flowed away from the home rather than pooling around it.
We installed a French drain to redirect excess water and created a gentle swale for better runoff.
Once the drainage was fixed, we laid down fresh sod to prevent erosion and bring the lawn back to life.
The homeowner wanted a mud-free path, so we added stepping stones and compacted gravel in key areas.
Some trees had extensive root systems, which contributed to their drainage issues. We carefully adjusted their placement and improved the soil structure around them.
The family could enjoy a lush, level lawn with no more standing water—just a healthy, green yard.
Every yard is different, but these are the go-to methods that get the best results:
A professional grading and drainage company can reshape your yard’s slope to direct the water where it should go—away from your home. This is one of the most effective long-term solutions.
If water naturally pools in certain areas, we install:
Hard-packed soil doesn’t correctly soak up water. Aerating the ground and adding organic material helps water drain more effectively.
Leaves, branches, and compacted mulch can block drainage pathways. Regular maintenance and keeping your yard clear are straightforward but essential steps.
Bare patches of dirt lead to erosion and muddy messes. Laying fresh sod or planting ground cover keeps the soil in place and improves drainage.
