Your North Atlanta home's backyard is clean and pristine, and you want to keep it that way during winter. Yet, without proper drainage, your backyard may suffer in winter. To understand why this is the case, let's consider how water impacts the ground in your backyard — and why a winter yard drainage solution may be necessary.
Winter brings cool temperatures that impact the ground's ability to absorb water. So, when it rains in winter, rainwater will collect on the ground in your backyard. The water won't evaporate since it is not warm or sunny enough to cause it to disappear. In this instance, the water collects in your backyard every time it rains, to the point where it causes the ground to become wet and mushy.
Why You Need a Winter Yard Drainage Solution
Let's face it — no one wants a wet, mushy backyard. Fortunately, winter yard drainage solutions are available that can help you keep your backyard looking great throughout the season.
There are many reasons to pursue a winter yard drainage solution for your backyard, including:
1. You Can Stop Soil Erosion.
Erosion occurs when rain displaces the top layer of soil. In this instance, the most-fertile layer of the soil disappears, which can lead to depth issues that cause long-lasting damage to your backyard landscaping.
Poor drainage is a primary cause of backyard soil erosion in winter. But, with a proper drainage solution in place, you can keep large quantities of water from collecting in your backyard. Th result: you can alleviate the risk of erosion.
2. You Can Keep Standing Water Outside of Your Backyard.
Standing water can make your backyard slippery and dangerous. At the same time, standing water drowns your landscaping and can provide a breeding ground for mosquitoes and other pests. Standing water can create an eyesore in your backyard, too.
A winter yard drainage solution keeps standing water outside of your backyard. The solution ensures standing water won't accumulate in your backyard in winter. That way, you can avoid the headaches commonly associated with standing water during the season.
3. You Can Prevent Water Damage.
The water damage associated with insufficient drainage can be significant. For instance, consider what can happen during a winter rainstorm. In this scenario, water can move quickly across your backyard and make its way through cracks in your home's foundation. This can cause damage to your house's foundation. It can also lead to water in your basement.
A drainage solution lets you address water damage before it occurs. Plus, it helps you avoid costly, time-intensive repairs associated with water damage repairs to your home.
4. You Can Prep Your Backyard for Spring.
