Drainage solutions in Buford, GA
We solve drainage problems for Buford homeowners.
Buford’s terrain—with its rolling hills, sloped yards, and low-lying areas—comes with plenty of landscape drainage challenges (and don’t forget Lake Lanier, that’s a lot of water too!). Without proper water management, your landscape is at risk of severe erosion, which can lead to costly damage to both your yard and your home’s foundation. Erosion is often caused by poor water flow, with runoff failing to divert safely away from your property.
One of the most common issues we see at Lake Lawns is improper drainage caused by contractors who don’t divert water correctly around homes. Without the expertise of specialized drainage companies, improper grading and lack of adequate drainage systems can result in standing water, soggy soil, and sometimes even foundation damage. Additionally, Buford’s hilly terrain and clay soil can create conditions ripe for hillside washouts, where rainwater erodes soil, damages plant beds, and destabilizes landscapes.
Why you need professional landscape drainage solutions.
An ineffective drainage system can lead to yard drainage problems including standing water, soil erosion, damaged plants, and even home flooding. That’s where Lake Lawns steps in. We specialize in designing and installing custom drainage systems tailored to the Lake Lanier area’s unique terrain, ensuring your yard remains functional and healthy even in heavy rains.
While many homeowners think a simple French drain might solve their issues, our experience as one of Buford’s trusted water drainage companies shows that most properties require more complex solutions. Although French drains are ideal for minor water problems, more severe erosion or water flow challenges often need a combination of drain basins, dry creek beds, rain gardens, bioswales, and other yard drainage system strategies. Our team evaluates each landscape individually, providing a comprehensive solution tailored to your property’s specific challenges.
Dry creek bed installation
We installed a dry creek bed at this Flowery Branch, GA property to divert water toward a nearby storm drain. Dry creek beds are a great solution for managing runoff in a natural, attractive way—they slow the flow of water, reduce erosion, and blend seamlessly into the landscape while preventing water drainage issues.
