Why Focus on Drainage for Earth Day?
Maryland’s waterways and local ecosystems are part of what makes the state so special. Runoff from roads and residential and commercial properties can carry pollutants far and wide, impacting the local wildlife. Poor stormwater management can also contribute to flooding and erosion. Investing in drainage solutions and taking a second look at your property’s stormwater management systems can help you protect nearby plants and animals. Improving drainage around your home or business is also a great way to protect nearby structures from flooding or water damage.
Gravel as a Tool for Improved Drainage
There are plenty of ways for people to improve drainage on their properties, and gravel is a popular material for the task. Homeowners and contractors typically use gravel to surround swimming pools, septic tanks, and underground pipes. French drains often combine landscape fabric, tubing, and gravel or crushed stone to create a channel for stormwater runoff, and they are an attractive stormwater management solution. Gravel is also an ideal option for driveways, walkways, and patios. With gravel and a well-graded property, home and business owners can rest easy knowing that their driveways and patios will remain puddle-free!
Gravel Isn’t the Only Drainage Solution to Consider
If the look of gravel isn’t quite your style, Lehnhoff’s Supply offers plenty of other tools to help you improve drainage on your property.
