Why You Need Landscape Drainage In Indianapolis

One of the essential parts of a landscape design is its ability to drain properly. Without a proper drainage system, water can build up in areas that either destroy the landscape itself or damage the home or business it surrounds. The landscape has to be designed to point water runoff in the right direction. If the water runs towards the building, it can cause flooding. 

According to the State of Indiana, flooding is the most common natural disaster to plague the Indianapolis area and recommend homeowners and businesses have landscaping drainage installed by a local professional to protect your buildings and property from erosion.

Benefits Of Landscaping Drainage

Drainage systems, when constructed properly, will make sure that water doesn't pool up in any particular area. There is such a thing as over watering plants. Keeping soil too wet for too long leads to root rot and other diseases. Without a sound drainage system, standing water attracts mosquitoes which inflict painful, itchy bites and can spread diseases like West Nile and Zika Virus. The females lay their eggs in the pooling water in your yard resulting in an infestation making it unpleasant to spend time in your outdoor living spaces.

At Emerald Meadows Landscaping, we take drainage seriously and design a system customized to meet the needs of your Noblesville area property. Our landscapers factor in the slope, the type of soil, Indiana's climate, the design of your spaces, access to sewer system, and local code.

Some landscapes require underground piping installation, while other areas can utilize ground-level trenches. We excavate and trench to install landscaping drainage that doesn't detract from the function and beauty of your outdoor spaces. We grade carefully to ensure your landscaping drainage flows freely into the City's stormwater or sewage systems. Gutters and downspouts can also be installed to help with that process. Retaining walls and other barriers are constructed where necessary to prevent erosion and protect your home and other structures from water penetration.
