When you need a driveway culvert expert, you can rest assured that Groundworx Land Management is the best driveway culvert installation and repair expert in Georgia.
Find the help you need. A driveway culvert is a drain pipe installed under a driveway that directs water from one side of the driveway to the other. Driveways can be made of plastic, concrete, or steel, depending on the homeowner's needs and budget. Driveway culverts are excellent at preventing driveway erosion due to water flow from one side of the driveway to the other. Driveway culverts also help prevent flooding.
What is Drainage Work?
Drainage work includes culvert installation and culvert replacement, drainage swales, and rock work to direct water around your property and control erosion.
Drainage Swales & Rock Work
Buried drainage systems effectively move water around beautifully landscaped properties due to their speed and efficiency. If the water flows too fast, flooding can occur downstream. Therefore, the use of grass and stone swales is becoming more and more popular. Local governments encourage the use of swales, as water seeps through them more slowly. Underground piping may be required due to the amount of water to be moved. Groundworx Land Management can help determine when swales are best and when underground piping is needed. Local governments are looking for ways to reduce runoff into stormwater systems. Swales are an environmentally friendly method of moving and infiltrating water and can have many forms and functions in the natural landscape, depending on soil and climatic conditions. Percolation rates are a measure of how quickly water moves through the soil. Speed depends on soil conditions and amount of water available. Saturated soils affect soil infiltration rates.
Call Groundworx Land Management today to determine the best layout for your swale. We will determine whether the swale will run straight or curved through your yard. The swale should be sloping and sized to handle the rainfall at your location.
Areas of high water may require stone dams to slow the flow. Straight gutters carry a lot of water, while curved gutters meander around your yard to slow down the flow of rainwater. Slower water flow reduces erosion at exit points.
