Standing Water in Yard

Standing Water in Yard After Rain

Standing water is a symptom, not a diagnosis. The water may come from roof runoff, low grade, compacted soil, hardscape, or a blocked flow path. A good drainage plan starts by finding why the water collects before choosing a drain or grading fix.

Problem signs

What This Page Helps Solve

These are the homeowner-visible symptoms this drainage service should speak to clearly.

Puddles That Stay
Water that remains long after a storm can damage turf and make the yard difficult to use.
Low Lawn Sections
Small low spots can collect water from several directions and dry slowly.
Runoff From Roofs and Patios
Hard surfaces can send water into the same area faster than the yard can absorb it.

Approach

Drainage Options to Consider

The right answer may be a French drain, grading, a catch basin, downspout routing, a swale, or a combination.

Find the Source
Look at rooflines, slope, low areas, patios, and neighboring grade before choosing a fix.
Collect or Redirect
Use surface drains, swales, grading, French drains, or downspout routing where they fit.
Avoid New Problems
Plan discharge so water does not create trouble at walkways, fences, or neighboring properties.
