Some parts of Falls Church VA have a bad reputation for backyard flooding and constantly wet backyards. It does not have to be that way. There are some cures for the backyard flooding and constantly wet soil. Two of the solutions for backyard drainage and flooding are: retaining walls and french drains.
Retaining Walls
Retaining walls can change the topography of your yard and give additional usable space, while helping to control flooding and drying constantly wet soil.
Retaining walls can also offer a beautiful focal point for your landscape. The walls can be built of a variety of materials, fitting in with any landscape design.
French Drains
French drains control flooding and channel water away from wet areas with a combination of buried pipes and gravel. Combined with retaining walls, french drains can prevent most backyard flooding and dry most constantly wet soil areas.
French drains are also used to reduce the pressure exerted on retaining walls, extending the life of the wall and preventing erosion and flooding.
