Steps and Materials to Improve Lawn Drainage

When you call AWS, we will use several tools and techniques to dry out your lawn and prevent future flooding. At our initial consultation, we will provide you with information about how we will remove wet parts of the lawn. Here is a brief list of tools and materials that are commonly used to get the job done.

• Aerator
• A Pipe
• Shovel
• Topsoil and compost
• Sand and gravel
• Geotextile fabric

• Aerate the Soil

We will use a lawn aerator to remove sections of soaked, heavy soil. This will allow your lawn to dry out, and it will prevent your grass from dying.

• Improve Drainage

If your soil contains a lot of clay, we may add sand and compost material to improve drainage. Using a tiller, we will mix the sand and compost into your soil to make your lawn resistant to flooding. Grass will need to be replanted if this technique is used.

• Create a Pond if Needed

Installing a pond in a low area of your yard will collect excess water and prevent your yard from flooding. We have the tools and expertise to dig a man-made pond in your yard so rainwater can be collected and drained properly.

• Eliminate Low Areas

Low areas can collect water and prevent your lawn from draining properly. In some cases, it is necessary to fill in low areas, holes, and depressions to improve your yard’s drainage.

• Install French Drains

Installing French drains is an excellent solution for lawn flooding. At AWS, we are experts on French drain installation. French drains control water flow so your yard can drain correctly.
