Preparing Your Lawn for Rain and Floods

FRENCH DRAIN INSTALLATIONS IN OOLTEWAH AND CHATTANOOGA

Preparing Your Lawn for Rain and Floods

Every year, the area around Chattanooga floods during heavy rains. This can cause damage to property and lawns that are unprepared for the flooding. One way to prepare your property is by installing French drains. When heavy rains come, they will take excess water away from your home and yard before it has a chance to pool upon your property. French drains offer one of the best landscape flooding solutions and can be easily installed by Ray Lawns in Ooltewah, Chattanooga, and the surrounding areas. Contact us today to get a quote!

How French Drains Work

When it rains, the water has to go somewhere. If your property isn't equipped to handle large amounts of rainwater, that water will flow towards your home or yard and cause damage. A French drain consists of a perforated pipe placed slightly underground around your property. As excess water makes its way into the pipeline, it will be diverted away from your home or landscaping. The best part is, French drains can be installed by your local lawn specialists at Ray Lawns today!

French Drain Installation

French drain installation is a quick process that our team at Ray Lawns can complete in no time to prevent your lawn and landscaping from getting damaged by floodwaters. The French drains are installed by laying the perforated pipe into trenches around your home or property — diverting the water to a place away from your home for proper draining. Once this has been completed, gravel will be placed on top of it to cover up any unsightly piping, and to keep the soil in place.
