FAQs

My yard in New Orleans floods after every heavy rain. What's the most common solution for drainage problems here?

In New Orleans, poor drainage is often due to our flat terrain and dense clay soil. The most effective and common solution we implement is installing a French drain system. This involves digging a trench, laying a perforated pipe surrounded by gravel, and redirecting the water away from your home's foundation and low-lying areas. Combined with proper yard grading, this is a proven, long-term fix for soggy lawns and standing water.

I think my sprinkler system has a leak. How can I tell, and what should I do?

Common signs of a sprinkler leak include soggy patches in your lawn that never dry, a sudden spike in your water bill, or low water pressure in the sprinkler heads. First, check for obvious issues like a cracked head or a geyser. If it's not visible, it's likely a leak in the underground line. We recommend turning off the system and calling us. Our local experts can perform a pressure test to pinpoint the leak and repair it efficiently, saving you water and money while protecting your lawn from over-saturation.

Can improving my yard's drainage also help my plants and grass grow better?

Absolutely. Proper drainage is crucial for plant health in New Orleans. When soil is constantly waterlogged, roots can't get the oxygen they need, leading to rot, disease, and yellowing grass. By solving drainage issues—whether through grading, drains, or adjusting your irrigation—we create a healthier root environment. This allows your grass to grow thicker and your plants to thrive, making your entire landscape more resilient and vibrant, even during our wettest seasons.
