Outdoor Drainage is NOT a DIY Project (Why Hire Professionals)
Home and business owners are encouraged to add an outdoor drainage system to their property, as there are many benefits to handling water and runoff properly including, preventing soil erosion, standing water and other types of water damage on your property. While it may be tempting to complete an outdoor drainage project yourself, it’s encouraged to hire a landscaping professional as these projects can get very technical. KG Landscape has extensive knowledge and skill to guarantee the job is done correctly. From expertise and advanced equipment to quick repairs and convenience, leave an outdoor drainage project to landscaping experts to get the job done right once and for all.
Extensive Knowledge
Drainage systems are vital to the design and function of your outdoor spaces, and hiring a professional that specializes in drainage systems is a necessity. These companies have extensive knowledge, familiarity, and training when it comes to drainage systems, which allows them to create a design specific to your property’s needs as well as perform repairs quickly and efficiently. Drainage systems commonly experience blockages caused by leaves, tree roots, and more. Hiring a professional to monitor your drainage system is hugely beneficial as these individuals are thoroughly trained to alleviate the situation and provide guidance to prevent it from occurring in the future.
When choosing your outdoor drainage company, it’s encouraged to interview prospective candidates and have them visit your property thoroughly. You’ll want to find a company that offers various drainage design options and can see your property in the big picture. Contractors that focus on one problem and provide one solution may not be adequately trained or have the experience you’re looking for. It’s also essential to ask for detailed estimates as well as references. After your on-site evaluation, each landscaping company should provide you with an accurate estimate describing the work that will be completed and providing you with possible costs. Checking references is also incredibly important as you can discuss how other client’s experiences were with the company in question and if they would recommend them for your outdoor drainage project.
Advanced Equipment and Technology
Rather than doing your outdoor drainage project yourself with standard tools and minimal skill sets, a professional landscaping company will have the latest technology and tools to complete your project. Many landscaping companies stay up to date with their employees’ training and professional development courses to keep up with industry advancements, techniques, and changes. Equipment will be available to accurately survey your property above and below ground to ensure that your outdoor drainage design and system is working correctly. Here at KG Landscape, we have a variety of technology-driven outdoor drainage designs, and our contractors will help choose the best one for your property:

Some people like to use the phrase "nature is healing." However, in some cases, nature can't heal itself alone. That's where we come in. Recently, a homeowner in Maple Grove, Minnesota reached out to KG Landscape after struggling to revitalize a back yard that was simply failing to thrive. Despite what seemed like ample sunlight and water, the turf suffered from numerous thin and bare patches that refused to improve. To determine exactly why they couldn't get this yard to flourish on its own, our client asked us to assess the yard and determine a plan that could reinstate the lush green lawn they expected for their Maple Grove home.
Seldom will you find a piece of landscaping less desirable than the unintentional water feature. That's why a recent client in St. Paul, Minnesota's Macalester-Groveland neighborhood reached out to KG Landscape. Poor drainage in their yard had begun to allow standing water to accumulate, which not only damaged the lawn but was also beginning to make its way into the home's foundation. Our assignment was to determine why this water was pooling where it was, then find a way to divert it to a safer outlet. In order to do so and to improve the health of this St. Paul lawn, our team developed a system of catch basins and underground drain pipes to capture and redirect rainwater. Additionally, we restored the damage standing water had done to the lawn with a full topdressing treatment combined with seed blankets in the most critical areas of the lawn. Upon completing the project, we successfully resolved the yard's drainage issues while also bolstering the health of the lawn.
