As the leaves start to fall and the temperatures drop in North Royalton, many homeowners begin preparing their lawns and landscapes for winter. But one often-overlooked task that can have a big impact on your property’s health is addressing yard drainage issues. At DeFazio Company, we believe fall is the ideal time to take action on water problems before they become major headaches.
Avoid Water Damage Before Winter
Autumn often brings increased rainfall and the accumulation of fallen leaves, which can clog drains and gutters. Combined with already-compacted summer soil, water can easily pool around your home, foundation, or in low spots in the yard. If not properly managed, this excess moisture can freeze and cause damage during winter’s freeze-thaw cycles.
By dealing with drainage issues in the fall, you give your yard time to adjust before the ground freezes. Whether it’s installing a French drain, regrading the soil, or extending downspouts, fall offers a window of opportunity to get the job done efficiently and effectively.
Ideal Conditions for Drainage Work
Unlike spring and summer, when soil may be soggy or heavily compacted, fall provides a balanced environment for drainage installations. The cooler weather is ideal for digging and grading, and landscaping plants are entering dormancy, making it easier to work around your yard without disturbing growth. Plus, the off-peak season means faster scheduling and quicker project turnaround times.
Prevent Bigger Problems Later
Putting off drainage repairs until spring can allow water problems to worsen over the winter. Soil erosion, foundation cracks, flooded basements, and dying turf can all result from unmanaged runoff and pooling water. Fall is your last chance to address these concerns proactively.
