Garden Drainage

Professional Garden Drainage Solutions for Queensland Properties

Every garden needs a good drainage system to allow the removal of surface and sub-surface water from an area and prevent it from pooling in your lawn or invading your home.

There are a few types of drainage systems that you can choose from, which would fit your home or garden’s needs perfectly.

• Dry well system is similar to the French drain but is an environmentally-friendly alternative because it drains rain water onsite.
• French drain is the most used system for outdoor drainage and is engineered to direct water to a drain instead of spreading it over your land.
• Bog area in landscape uses landscaping plants to drain small amounts of water.
• Corrugated plastic tubes direct water from downspouts, either to drain or to spread water within the landscape.
• Grassy swale is usually used in large areas to dissipate excess water or to direct the water into a drain.

These are just some of many types of drainage systems that are out there on the market.
