Fox Point Drainage Solution Project

There are a wide range of drainage problems that affect homeowners.  These drainage problems will continue to get worse over time as water settles features such as lawn areas, patios and landscaping causing easily preventable damage and expense.   Our team’s approach to solving most drainage problems is simple, water flows downhill. We simply create a path for water to flow away from its undesired location.

In this project, two neighbors in Fox Point, WI were both having drainage issues.  The overgrown landscape had created a pitch towards both of their homes and created puddling in the lawn area between the homes.  The goal in this project was to create a positive pitch away from both homes and to create a smooth efficient swale.

Fox Point Drainage Solution
Both homes have a negative pitch towards the house and there is a flat lawn area between them where water pools.

In order to achieve a positive pitch away from both homes, all the existing landscaping, trees and shrubs have to be removed.

The removal process is almost complete and the area will soon be ready for grading.

The area is then graded to create an efficient swale.

Trenching is taking place within the swale to install a drain tile system.

The perforated drain tile is back filled with limestone chips to help absorb additional sub-surface water within the swale.

Drain tile is finished being installed and the final grades are being checked with a laser transit to ensure the swale is pitched properly and water will move efficiently away from both homes.

A catch basin is added to the drain tile system to help catch additional water within the swale.
