The homeowner was dealing with persistent water pooling in a low area near their backyard patio whenever it rained or the irrigation system operated. The standing water made the space difficult to enjoy and created concerns about erosion, plant health, and long-term damage to the surrounding landscape. They contacted OAK Outdoors looking for a permanent drainage solution that would resolve the issue without disrupting the beauty of their backyard.
Our team installed a French drain basin at the lowest point of the affected area and connected it to the property's existing drainage system using a new 40-foot section of corrugated pipe. The captured water is now efficiently directed to the street, preventing future pooling and oversaturation. Careful installation allowed us to preserve the surrounding patio and landscape while delivering a solution that blends seamlessly into the existing design. The result is a dry, functional outdoor space that can be enjoyed year-round while protecting the property from erosion and drainage-related issues.
