❝Amazing job in a tough situation❞

★★★★★ - "Rodrigo and his team did an amazing job in a tough situation. My 90 yr old Mother was living in “a lake” due to the rains. He not only engineered a phenomenal drain system that quickly prevented a flood inside the home but he accomplished this while a former landscape architect with dementia was screaming and yelling at him. He calmed her and planted beautiful flowers at the finish. Her care workers, friends, and Gardner have all raved about what a terrific job he accomplished. I truly look forward to working with him again. His communication and progress reports were professional and spot-on. Rodrigo surpassed any expectations I had!"

Do I Need to Install a French Drain?

Are you having a problem with surface water collecting in your yard? If you are having lawn or mulch wash out or if you are building a retaining wall on a hill near your home, you might consider installing a French drain, which will provide an easy channel for rainwater to flow through in the direction of your choosing. Adding a French drain will protect your home from unwanted pooling water and keep your lawn from washing away.

• First, a trench will be excavated in the ideal location to relocate water
• Ideally, the trench will be dug horizontally to the water source, whether a hill or higher ground
• Within the trench, a tubular draining system will be placed, which is water permeable.
• Stones are placed inside the tube for water to flow through
• Once placed, the drains are covered and not visible above ground

Trench Drains and Channel Drains

While French drains deal with water issues that are below the surface, trench drains divert water away from surfaces. Trench drains, also known as channel drains, are lined with concrete and are sloped away from buildings to divert water. Trench drains are often used to manage rain water, especially where there are few opportunities for absorption into the ground, such as around pool decks, parking lots, driveways, and walkways. There are many applications for trench drains for commercial properties in the area, and they even work well in multi-level structures.

Factors That Determine the Type of Drain to Manage Your Drainage Issue

How do you decide what type of drain is needed on your property? There are quite a few calculations that go into determining the size and slope of the drain that will work best. The drainage pros at Southcal Landscape Corporation have 13 years of experience with helping customers choose a drain. First, we'll have to determine how much water will need to be drained from your property. Channel drains are great for keeping water from flowing into your garage, basement, or parking lot. We will measure the amount of runoff and the slope of the surface. From there, Southcal Landscape Corporation will determine the best trench or channel drain to install to manage your runoff water and keep your property dry. We'll choose a grate that can handle the flow capacity for your project to be sure that the proper channel drain will be installed to manage your runoff.
