Innovative Yard Drainage Solutions

Heavy Midwest rains can quickly reveal the weak points in your landscape. There is nothing quite as frustrating as watching your beautiful yard turn into a swamp after a storm. But beyond being an eyesore, poor drainage is a serious liability. Standing water can drown your landscaping, breed mosquitoes, ruin your driveway, and most importantly, threaten your home’s foundation.

At Narnia Landscaping, we understand the unique soil and weather conditions of DuPage County. We design and install expert, customized drainage solutions that ensure proper water flow, safeguarding your property and giving you ultimate peace of mind.

Whether you are dealing with a soggy backyard, a flooding driveway, or pooling water near your foundation, we offer a comprehensive suite of solutions tailored to your exact needs.

Our Expert Drainage Solutions

We evaluate your property’s natural grading and water flow to recommend the most effective strategy. Here is a look at some of the most reliable systems we install:

NDS FloWell & Advanced Dry Wells

Discover the efficiency and reliability of NDS FloWell systems for managing excess surface water. Unlike traditional dry wells—which can be complex, labor-intensive, and prone to clogging—the NDS FloWell system offers a streamlined, highly effective alternative.

How it works: These systems collect standing water from your yard or downspouts and hold it underground, allowing it to gradually and naturally percolate back into the soil.

Customized for you: Whether your property requires a basic gravel-filled basin or a more robust system fed by a network of drainage pipes, we provide a versatile setup that prevents waterlogging and protects your turf.

Custom French Drains

Revitalize your yard with the time-tested effectiveness of a French drain. Designed to combat heavily saturated soil and eliminate excess water from the low points in your yard, French drains offer a highly efficient, subterranean solution.

How it works: These systems consist of a sloped, gravel-filled trench containing a perforated drain pipe. They intercept surface and groundwater, redirecting it safely away from problem areas.

Seamless integration: Once installed, a turf cover or decorative stone can be placed over the top, allowing the French drain to blend seamlessly into your landscape without sacrificing visual appeal.

Downspout Underground Extensions

Your roof collects a massive amount of water during a storm. If your downspouts are simply dumping that water right next to your home, you are risking severe foundation damage and basement leaks.

How it works: We upgrade your home’s current gutter system by connecting your vertical downspouts directly to heavy-duty, underground PVC or corrugated piping.

The benefit: This simple yet highly effective solution catches the water at the gutter trough and channels it far away from your foundation with precision and control, discharging it safely into a designated drainage zone or street curb.

Rock & Rain Gardens

Elevate your yard’s aesthetics while tackling drainage issues head-on. If you prefer an eco-friendly and natural approach, rock and rain gardens offer a beautiful, discreet way to manage excess water.

How it works: Strategically integrated at the source of your drainage problems, these gardens use deep-rooted, water-loving plants and porous river rocks to absorb, filter, and dissipate runoff.

The benefit: Say goodbye to unsightly mud puddles and hello to a harmonious fusion of functionality and beauty. These gardens turn a drainage problem into a stunning landscape feature.
