There’s nothing worse for property value than surface water on your landscaping. The best way to remedy this issue is by installing a proper drainage system. However, finding the right gear isn’t always so easy. Here’s a guide on how to shop for the right catch basin for you.
Understand Your Landscape’s Topography
Your property’s particular landscape features a unique topography that will affect your catch basin purchase. Most surfaces of grass feature low and high spots. Low spots accumulate water and are often the most problematic areas; on the other hand, high spots dictate how a drainage system is installed.
Since you want water to flow from low to high ground, determining where a catch basin will go helps you determine size and shape requirements. Additionally, be mindful of obstacles like hedging and retention walls, as these are other problem areas that affect what specific catch basin your need.
Discharge Point to High Spot
As mentioned before, drainage should flow from low points to higher ground. The low point is where you should place your discharge component (drains). Slopped pipes lead the water to higher ground, thus remedying any drainage issues.
Once you calculate and map the best discharge point to a high ground location on your property, you can have a better idea of what catch basin is required. Ultimately, you need to know the exact layout of your property and drainage system to pick the right drain accurately.
The “Camoflouge” Factor
If you’re like most people, you strive for a cohesive and visually appealing yard. While eliminating sitting water helps improve the look of your property, the presence of drains and grates isn’t always the nicest to look at. Luckily, we offer many options to help camouflage your catch basins. Choose from different colors and shapes to better blend your system into the overall design of your yard.
Knowing how to shop for the right catch basin for you will ensure your yard stays functional and visually appealing. Each yard is different and requires various solutions. We at Standartpark offer superior channel drains for sale to meet all your needs.
