Drainage
Regardless of the size of your landscape drainage needs the overall goal remains the same. One of our professional experts will walk your property with you to determine the best course of action to control unwanted water near your home or building.
Capture
Capture devices can range from direct plumbing from a downspout, catch basins or area drains, trench drains or even permeable pavers. A capture device is anything that allows stormwater to enter a system. This capture point can also have a filtration device to ensure the system remains clear of debris and prevent potential clogs in the future.
Convey
Once the water has entered the system, it has to be moved, or conveyed, using some type of pipe. This can vary from a flexible coil pipe, PVC, HDPE or even concrete depending on the size of the system.
Detention
Small scale residential projects can often be handled with a dry well system, seepage pit, or traditional French drain or manufactured trench drain. Large scale commercial systems will likely require a chamber type system (Underground Pond) to handle the volume required by ordinance, code or engineer requirements.
Overflow
Residential systems are often handles by a pop-up emitter. Depending on the volume of water exiting the system, multiple pop ups may be required to handle the amount of water exiting the system. Large scale commercial projects may require a large diameter pipe with an armored area beneath to prevent erosion from the water exiting the pipe.
Waterproofing
As weather patterns begin to change, many homeowners and business owners are experiencing water inside their structures which can cause damage, mold, and structural issues.
Addressing where the water is coming from outside before it reaches the interior of the structure is key to avoiding long term and costly issues. Water can enter your basement due to improper grading or clogged gutters. If you have landscaping that holds moisture close to the home, you may need a French drain or surface drainage system to channel water away from the foundation.
Trenching/Digging
Landscape trenching refers to the process of digging a narrow, long trench in the soil for various purposes related to landscaping, gardening, or construction. At Green Island we are experts in the types of trenches needed for laying pipes, wires, drainage systems, or even for planting purposes.
