Drainage Issues? Installing a Patio is a Great First Step

With spring comes the challenge of managing excess water in our yards. Puddles, soggy spots, and even water damage to foundations can be a real headache. If you are struggling with drainage issues, you might be surprised to learn that installing a patio can be a fantastic first step towards a drier, more enjoyable outdoor space. At Nurney Landscape & Design, we understand the importance of proper drainage and are here to help design and install a functional landscape that withstands the test of time and weather. 

The Importance of Design for Proper Drainage

Effective drainage is about more than just moving water away from your house; it’s about understanding the natural flow of water on your property and designing your landscape to work with it, not against it. This is where thoughtful planning and a comprehensive design come into play. At Nurney, we don’t just think about next season; we consider the long-term impact of our designs. We develop a master plan for your property, taking into account factors like slope, soil type, and existing drainage patterns to ensure that your landscape remains healthy and beautiful for years to come. 

A well-designed patio can play a crucial role in managing drainage. By carefully grading the area around the patio and incorporating features like permeable pavers or drainage channels, we can direct water away from your home and prevent pooling on the surface. This not only protects your property from water damage but also creates a usable outdoor space that you can enjoy year-round. 

March is the Time! 

March is the ideal time to begin thinking about drainage solutions and patio projects. As the temps warm and the ground thaws, you can get a clearer picture of any drainage problems you currently have. This allows us to accurately assess the situation and develop a plan tailored to your specific needs. Starting your project in the spring also means you’ll be able to enjoy your new patio and improved drainage system throughout the warmer months. 

The Nurney team knows that every property is different and that there is no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to drainage. That’s why we take a personalized approach to every project, carefully considering all the factors involved to ensure the best possible outcome. Don’t let drainage issues dampen your outdoor enjoyment. Contact Nurney Landscape & Design today: (215) 794-8599.
