Standing Water In Bethesda MD Yard

Have you struggled with standing water in your Bethesda, MD yard since you bought your property? Or perhaps when you first purchased the place everything was fine, then all of a sudden, the problem appeared? In either case, we can help. East Coast Landscape Design is the leading landscape design company in the region. We’ve been in the business since 1979, and our clients have come to trust our expertise.

The first step in fixing the problem is to understand what’s causing the standing water in your Bethesda, MD yard in the first place.

If the problem has been present since you owned the place, then it’s possible that time or previous owners altered the property’s original grading, leaving you with a problem to deal with.

If it’s something more recent, then it points to a recent fundamental shift. A few of the more common causes in this case are things like:

• A neighbor may have recently installed a privacy fence which is preventing water from draining along the path it had been taking previous to the fence’s installation
• DIY landscaping projects in your yard that may have changed the way water flows
• If you have an existing French drain on your property, a recent storm may have clogged it, preventing it from diverting water as efficiently as it has in the past.

It’s also worth noting that sometimes there’s no problem at all. No matter how good or robust your drainage system is, if you’ve recently suffered heavy rains, it’s common to see standing water in your Bethesda, MD yard for up to 48 hours after the rains stop. Your drainage system needs time to cope with the unusual surge of water, after all.

Regardless, East Coast Landscape Design has a Senior Geotechnical Engineer on staff, who will personally visit your property to survey it and assess the situation. His findings will be a key component to the estimate we draft for you, outlining possible solutions to the problem.

If you’re comfortable with our estimate, we can proceed, and the standing water in your Bethesda, MD yard will soon be a thing of the past!

We do a lot more than just solve drainage issues for our clients though. If you’re interested in turning your ordinary lawn into a stunning paradise for you and your family to enjoy, we’re happy to help with that too. You can find numerous examples of our work on our website to get a sense of the kinds of landscapes we create, or to get inspiration for your own project.
