Yard Drainage Systems, Grading Services, and Downspout Installation in Takoma Park, MD

Like other towns in the Washington, DC, metro area, Takoma Park’s low-lying terrain, proximity to creeks and rivers, and abundant rainfall mean that effective yard drainage systems are a must-have. Moyers Lawn Service & Landscaping brings over four decades of experience to local property owners who want to fix an inefficient drainage system and preserve their homes and landscapes.

French Drain Installation and More in Takoma Park

Most people would love a piece of waterfront property — but most don’t want their landlocked properties to turn into a pond or river every time it rains.

Moyers Lawn Service & Landscaping solves this problem with custom-designed yard drainage systems that correct problems that can cause water damage to your home, erode your landscape, and leave you with a wet, spongy yard. For example, a French drain, a shallow trench with a perforated pipe surrounded by gravel, can redirect water away from the most problematic areas in your yard. French drain installation is especially useful in Takoma Park, where underground springs often impede drainage.

Downspouts that help channel water off the roof can also affect yard drainage systems. Incorrect placement can direct the water toward your home or areas in the yard that lack proper drainage. Count on us for downspout installation and downspout drainage correction to ensure this doesn’t happen and that water from the roof doesn’t pool around the foundation.

Drainage Swale Grading for Takoma Park, MD

Without the correct ground slope, rainwater can pool near the foundation or elsewhere in your yard, causing water damage, muddy puddles, and other issues. Erosion can reduce the ground slope and create issues, but our yard grading services can fix the issue and stop damage.

The same issue can arise in swales, the shallow channels on the edge of your property. If your swales no longer effectively channel the water off your property into dry wells or retention ponds, our drainage swale grading experts can correct the problem.

Originally planned as a commuter suburb of Washington, DC, the Maryland city of Takoma Park today is a densely populated small city in its own right. Known as a cultural hotspot, thanks to the annual Takoma Park Folk Festival, music venues, art studios, theater groups, and more. Residents also enjoy plenty of outdoor activities, thanks to the local Sligo Creek Park trails and open spaces.
