FRENCH DRAINS

Unmanaged surface water causes damage quickly because it seeks the easiest path to flow and pool. A drainage problem can often stem from a basement sump pump exiting too close to the foundation. Our experts have a high success rate solving many complicated surface water problems. Many different approaches can be taken. French drain systems are intricate drains to capture surface water. The system dispenses and delivers the water to a less problematic area of the property. Although this is a popular solution it is not always necessary. Our design consultants create solutions that in many cases are less expensive than a French drain system, such as changing the topography of the land to divert surface water. Installation of drain basins and drywells can solve a majority of residential drainage problems.

Underground yard drainage systems can be complex. Allow our landscape professionals to design and install a drainage solution for your project.

PERMEABLE PAVERS FOR DRAINAGE SOLUTIONS in spokane

Permeable Landscape pavers have come on strong in recent years as another solution for storm and surface water drainage solutions in the Spokane area. Permeable pavers are an ecofriendly way to drain and filter stormwater. These work extremely well in complex drainge situations. For examlple a driveway that slopes down towards a garage. Picture an asphalt parking lot with all of the stormwater running into the swales around the lot taking up valuable parking. Those swales could be parking spaces. With permeable pavers the stormwater flows through the layered system.

Permeable pavers are installed with a layered base of drain rock underneath the pavers. This system filters the storm water and releases it back into the subsoil. The initial designs of the product have wider joints between pavers and smaller aggregate fills the gaps. Newer designs actually allow the water draining through the concrete paver itself.
