Drainage

Drainage and Erosion

One of the most important parts of any landscaping plan is drainage. Whether you are trying to hold back a hill or just a low slope of soil, drainage is the glue that keeps it all together and prevents you losing your whole landscape to erosion. Whether it is natural erosion from regular weather patterns or erosion from irrigation systems drainage is the one can remove or alter everything from the aesthetic of a design to an entire constructed area and permanently damage even houses themselves. Done right it protects and defends by moving water efficiently away from areas it can do harm, but done wrong can have disastrous effects.
