With any home, landscaping can be a huge attraction or an unsightly deterrent. It affects the value of your home and should be taken into consideration when doing remodeling. If your land is susceptible to flood waters, it can cause devastating injuries to your home and land. Luckily, there are a few simple steps you can take to avoid flood waters in your yard. First and foremost, your land should never slope in the direction of your home. Leveling sloped land can decrease the risks of flooding immensely. Planting native , perennial plants helps prevent soil erosion and helps access rainwater drain more efficiently. Planting a rain garden or adding the resourcefulness of a rain barrel can also provide protection from flood waters. Not only are you protecting your home, you are giving back to the local environment and helping the ecosystem one flower at a time. Flood waters can rise quickly, and even with preparation can leave you in deep water. Don't hesitate to give us a call. We are always here to help!
