While some showers are good for your lawn and might even save you a little money on your water bill, heavier rains can be damaging to your landscaping and your property. Plants need air and water standing to long can cause a plants’ roots to suffocate. Trust the pros to help correct any water flow issues your property may have. During the rainy season the number one fear of most homeowners is water entering the basement and causing damage.

Since every home and situation is unique, Executive Outdoor Living will assess the problem and provide the most cost-effective landscape drainage solutions to keep your property dry.
Potential landscape drainage solutions for your home may include burying downspouts out and away from the home, using French drains where the water Is taken into a drain that captures and carries it away from the home, putting dirt around the foundation to keep water away, or creating drainage swales which are valleys or dips in the yard that create a drainage channel to direct water away from the home. We pride ourselves on being upfront and honest with homeowners on the best way to address water problems. Our goal is to minimize water damage with customized landscaping for each and every customer.
With French drains, you can divert standing water to areas where it can be useful, like a flower bed or your backyard garden. No matter the size of French drain needed, Executive Outdoor Living has the professional expertise, experience and equipment to complete your installation in a timely manner.
Once we have determined that French drain installation is the best course of action for your Omaha home or commercial property, we’ll calculate the necessary size and placement of your trench by analyzing your soil conditions, the issue you need resolved and your groundwater and surface water conditions. Then we can begin the installation; excavating soil, compacting and sloping the bottom of your trench, lining the trench with textile and filling it with gravel and a perforated pipe that will quickly direct your surface water and groundwater away from your home. We finish off the drain installation by topping your drain with a permeable material of your choice, such as river rock, soil mix, sand, gravel, pavers or sod. These materials will block solids from entering your French Drain, preventing clogging, while still allowing water to filter through. Meet with us for a French drain installation consultation and we’ll work to save you money and stress while improving your lawn and protecting your foundation.
