Designing your drainage solution: Water Management
In Calgary yards, one of the drainage issues come from rainfalls and from the neighbors’ sprinkler systems which may saturate the backyard, making it soggy and muddy. The children and the dogs would not able to play in it. The home is at a lower elevation than the adjacent property, causing groundwater as well as water from the neighbors’ sprinklers to flow into the yard and not drain properly.
A Green Future Drainage Specialist would install a French drain around the perimeter of the backyard fence in order to intercept the groundwater. Furthermore to install a surface and French drain systems around the flower beds to keep that area dry as well. Lastly, Water which is collected by the drainage system then may get discharged into an existing drainage swale. A relatively in-expensive solution to solve these problems is to install a yard drainage or French drain system. This solution provides a way for water to leach out of the ground through a bed of gravel, into piping with a connection to either perimeter drains or a sump. We have installed thousands of feet or yard drainage systems at homes, apartments, condos and townhome complex’s over many years to have people enjoy their yards.
If you have any questions regarding a "Wet yard" or "Sunken / cracked concrete" that you think may be from soil conditions, we would be happy to provide you with a free evaluation and estimate.
The first step is to have an expert from A Green Future designer analyze the nature of your yard, find where the problems are and come up with the best solution. That solution may be as simple as changing the grade of your land — angling the ground so water follows gravity away from your property. A more aggressive solution might be to install underground pipes that redirect water. Finally, a combination of solutions might be needed.
No matter what the solution is, our A Green Future team will find it as our Calgary professionals have years of experience and training.

If your lawn's slope looks okay but water's still standing around, you have an internal drainage problem. The topsoil (loam) and subsoil (clay) might have been a little questionable to begin with, and got worse over time. There might be soil layering going on. Exessive tree roots growth can even cause internal drainage problems.
Aerating the topsoil might help some, but the problem usually lies below it. A French drain can help in these areas, but again, its probebly time to call yard drainage experts in Calgary to help you solve your Calgary yard drainage problem.
