Are you struggling with wet spots or poor drainage in your yard? Our team at Exterior Designs specializes in transforming problem yards into beautiful, functional landscapes. With years of experience in hardscape and drainage design, we provide comprehensive solutions to correct poor irrigation and improper grading, ensuring your landscape thrives.

Why Drainage Matters in Landscape Design

Proper drainage is crucial for a healthy and beautiful landscape. Without it, water can pool in unwanted areas, leading to plant diseases, soil erosion, unnecessary weeds and even structural damage to your property. Our expert team understands the importance of effective drainage in New Orleans and offers tailored solutions to meet your specific needs.

Comprehensive Hardscape and Drainage Design

Our process begins with a thorough assessment of your landscape to identify any issues and areas prone to water accumulation. We then create a custom design that incorporates regrading, adding gutters or hardscape elements and even advanced drainage solutions. Here’s how we do it:

  1. Site Assessment and Analysis
    We start by analyzing the topography and soil composition of your property. This helps us understand the flow of water and identify any problem areas. Our team uses advanced tools and techniques to ensure a precise assessment.
  2. Custom Drainage Solutions
    Based on our analysis, we design a custom drainage system that may include French drains, dry wells or channel drains. These systems are designed to redirect water away from problem areas and towards appropriate drainage outlets.
  3. Hardscape Integration
    Hardscape elements such as patios, walkways, and retaining walls are not only aesthetically pleasing but also play a vital role in managing water flow. Our designs integrate these elements seamlessly to enhance both functionality and beauty.

Garden Bed Preparation and Adjustments

Once the drainage and hardscape elements are in place, we turn our attention to your garden beds. Proper garden bed preparation is essential to ensure plants receive the right amount of water without the risk of root rot or other water-related issues. Here’s how we achieve this:

  1. Soil Improvement
    We improve soil structure by adding organic matter, ensuring it drains well while retaining enough moisture for plants to thrive. This step is crucial in preventing waterlogged conditions that can harm your plants.
  2. Grading Adjustments
    Adjusting the grading of your garden beds ensures that water flows away from plant roots and towards drainage systems. This prevents standing water and promotes healthy plant growth.
  3. Plant Selection
    We select plants that are suited to the drainage conditions of your garden beds. This includes choosing species that thrive in well-drained soil and are resistant to wet conditions.
