French drainage systems are used to move excess water away from lawns, patios and problem areas where water collects after heavy rain.
We install drainage solutions across Dundalk and Co. Louth for gardens affected by poor drainage, standing water or water runoff issues.
Signs a drainage system may be needed include:
- Water pooling after rain
- Soft or boggy lawns
- Water near paving or patios
- Runoff towards the house
- Constant wet areas
- Poor drainage in new builds
French drains usually involve gravel-filled trenches with drainage pipes that redirect water away from problem areas.
Important drainage considerations include:
- Ground levels
- Existing runoff
- Soil type
- Water direction
- Drainage outlets
- Connection points
Drainage is often completed alongside paving, lawns and groundwork where larger landscaping projects are already underway.
Poor drainage is much easier to solve during landscaping work than after a garden is fully completed.
