Drainage & Erosion Control
Protect your property from water damage with expert drainage solutions and erosion control systems.
Stop Water Damage Before It Starts
Poor drainage can destroy your landscape and even damage your home's foundation. When water has nowhere to go, it pools in low spots, kills plants, erodes soil, and seeps into places it should not be. During Goodyear's monsoon season, drainage problems become impossible to ignore.
At PureLane Goodyear Landscaping, we solve drainage and erosion problems with proven solutions that protect your property. We assess your yard's water flow patterns and design systems that move water away from buildings, prevent erosion, and eliminate standing water. The result is a healthier landscape and fewer headaches for you.
Many homeowners do not realize they have a drainage problem until it is too late. Signs include puddles that last for days after rain, soil washing away from plant roots, water stains on foundations or exterior walls, soggy spots in the lawn, or basement moisture. If you notice any of these issues, you need drainage work before the problem gets worse.
Water always takes the path of least resistance. If your property is not graded correctly or lacks proper drainage structures, water will find its own path, which might mean flowing toward your house instead of away from it. Proper drainage redirects water to appropriate areas like street drains, dry creek beds, or designated low spots away from structures.
Our Drainage and Erosion Control Solutions
Every property has unique drainage challenges based on soil type, slope, existing landscaping, and rainfall patterns. We evaluate all these factors to create a custom solution that works for your specific situation.
What We Can Do:
- •French Drains: We install underground drainage systems with perforated pipes surrounded by gravel. These catch water and direct it away from problem areas. French drains are excellent for yards with chronic wet spots or water flowing toward foundations.
- •Surface Grading: Sometimes the solution is reshaping the land itself. We regrade yards to create proper slopes that naturally direct water away from buildings and toward drainage points.
- •Channel Drains: These long, narrow drains sit at ground level to catch sheet flow water from driveways, patios, or large paved areas. Perfect for preventing water from flowing into garages or under doors.
- •Dry Creek Beds: We create attractive rock-lined channels that look natural but function as drainage paths during storms. These add beauty while solving water flow problems.
- •Catch Basins: These underground boxes with grates on top collect water from specific areas and connect to underground drainage pipes. They work well in low spots where water naturally collects.
- •Erosion Control: We stabilize slopes with retaining walls, terracing, ground covers, or erosion control fabric. These solutions hold soil in place during heavy rains.
Often we combine several solutions for the best results. For example, we might regrade your yard to improve surface drainage, then add a French drain to handle subsurface water, and finally install a catch basin at the lowest point. Each element works together as part of a complete system.
We can also coordinate drainage work with other projects. If you are installing a new irrigation system or adding hardscaping, we make sure the drainage plan accommodates those features. Planning everything together saves money and ensures all systems work properly.
The Benefits of Proper Drainage
Investing in drainage improvements protects your biggest investment: your home. Foundation damage from water intrusion can cost tens of thousands of dollars to repair. Good drainage prevents that by keeping water away from your foundation walls and footings.
Proper drainage also creates a healthier landscape. Most plants do not like wet feet. When soil stays soggy, plant roots cannot get oxygen and they start to rot. Good drainage keeps the soil moist but not waterlogged, which leads to healthier plants and lawns. You will spend less time dealing with dead plants and brown patches.
Erosion control saves your soil. Topsoil takes centuries to form naturally, but heavy rains can wash it away in minutes if it is not protected. Losing topsoil means losing nutrients your plants need. It also creates ugly gullies and exposes plant roots. Our erosion control solutions keep your valuable soil where it belongs.
Here is how we approach drainage projects. First, we visit your property during or right after rain if possible to see exactly how water flows. We identify problem areas and trace where water comes from and where it goes. Then we create a plan to intercept water and redirect it appropriately.
During installation, we dig trenches for pipes, set grades correctly, and install all drainage structures according to best practices. We make sure everything slopes properly so water flows by gravity, not pumps. After installation, we test the system with water to verify it works correctly. Then we restore the surface with soil, sod, or gravel depending on your landscape design.
