As the snow finally melts away, it's crucial to inspect your yard for proper drainage. Puddles and standing water can lead to soggy soil, causing damage to your grass and plants.
Check for Low Spots
Walk your property after a rain or thaw and note where water collects. Low spots are the primary culprit behind standing water. In many cases, adding topsoil to raise the grade is all it takes to redirect water away from problem areas.
Consider a French Drain
For persistent drainage issues, a French drain can be a game-changer. It's a trench filled with gravel and a perforated pipe that channels water away from your yard. Professional installation ensures the slope and placement work correctly.
Aeration Helps Too
Compacted soil doesn't absorb water well. Core aeration opens up the soil, allowing water to penetrate rather than pool on the surface. If your lawn feels spongy or water sits for hours after rain, aeration may be part of the solution.
