Drainage & Erosion Control
Drainage Design and Installation
Depending on your needs, we install a variety of drainage systems for our existing clients. French drains are one of the most popular options, however often times these cannot handle the heavy rains we experience in the summer. An alternative to this, is creating a natural swale, allowing the water to travel in a directed path away from problem areas. Allow us to work with you to turn a problem area in your yard into something less problematic, and more practical! At Bloom, we will get creative and can use potential trouble spots as an opportunity to create a water garden.Erosion Control Systems
While we love to take every opportunity, we can create colorful gardens, sometimes we have to place a greater emphasis on functionality. This is often the case when trying to remedy an area that has to succumbed to slope failure and erosion issues. Depending on the severity of the issue, we work side by side with local engineers and contractors to ensure the underlying problem is identified and addressed.While the simplest and most cost-effective means of stabilizing any eroding slope is through the use of planting vegetation and mulching, this solution alone is not always sufficient in solving more compromised slopes. Other alternatives that can be considered are:
- Installing erosion control matting
- Construction of functional retaining walls
- Redirecting water away from high-risk areas
