It’s been a rainy, soggy week across the Kansas City metro, and if your lawn or landscaping looks more like a marsh than a yard, you’re not alone. With even more rain expected this weekend, now is the perfect time to take a serious look at your property’s drainage. Excess water can wreak havoc on your landscape—washing away soil, drowning plants, damaging hardscapes, and creating muddy messes that never seem to dry out.
At SK Lawn and Landscape, we specialize in professional drainage solutions that protect your home, lawn, and landscaping from costly water damage. Whether your backyard is flooding or your flower beds keep eroding, our team is ready to help you reclaim your yard—rain or shine.
Common Signs You Need Drainage Help
Many homeowners don’t realize they have a drainage issue until it’s too late. Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
-
Pools of standing water in your yard
-
Erosion around landscape beds or hardscapes
-
Soggy spots that never dry
-
Washed-out mulch or topsoil
-
Water running toward your home’s foundation
-
Mildew or mold near your exterior walls
If you notice any of these problems, don’t wait. Moisture issues often worsen over time, and addressing them early can save you from major headaches and repairs down the road.
SK Lawn and Landscape’s Custom Drainage Solutions
We offer a full range of drainage options designed specifically for Kansas City’s unique climate and soil. Some of our most effective and popular drainage solutions include:
1. Retaining Walls
Our expertly crafted retaining walls not only prevent soil erosion on sloped areas but also add beauty and structure to your outdoor space. By strategically redirecting water runoff, retaining walls keep your garden and landscape in place—no more washouts or muddy messes.
2. Downspout Extensions
Downspouts that empty too close to your foundation can lead to basement leaks and yard flooding. We install custom downspout extensions that safely carry water away from your home, reducing foundation stress and keeping your landscaping intact.
3. French Drains and Channel Drains
For chronic waterlogging or heavy runoff, French drains and channel drains offer an underground solution. These systems collect and redirect water away from problem areas, leaving your yard firm, dry, and usable again.
4. Grading and Soil Re-contouring
Sometimes the solution lies in reshaping your terrain. Our team assesses and adjusts the grading of your property to promote proper water flow, ensuring that rain drains away from your home and landscaping rather than pooling in the wrong places.
