Q&A

How can you fix the poor drainage in my Norwich yard?

We start by assessing your yard's specific grading and water flow. Common solutions for our area include installing French drains to redirect water, creating swales (gentle ditches), or regrading the lawn to ensure water flows away from your home's foundation and into appropriate drainage areas, protecting your property from water damage.

What are the signs that my lawn in Norwich needs regrading?

Local signs include persistent puddles or soggy areas long after rain, water pooling near your foundation, visible soil erosion, or a lawn that slopes toward your house instead of away from it. These issues are common here and can lead to bigger problems if not addressed with proper regrading.

Can improving my yard's drainage help with other landscaping problems in Vermont?

Absolutely. Proper drainage is foundational. It prevents root rot in plants and grass, reduces soil compaction and erosion on our hills, deters mosquitoes by eliminating standing water, and creates a stable, healthy base for any other landscaping you want to add, making your entire yard more resilient and easier to maintain.
