Boca Raton Drainage Mitigation and Backyard Patio with Retention Wall

Do you have standing water on your property? Does rainwater back up toward your home? Or does it wash through your yard causing erosion? Is your yard always soggy?

This Boca Raton project was designed to address issues such as these. The water problems had made the backyard unusable, as well as being unsightly and also a breeding ground for mosquitoes. By channeling water away from low-lying areas, a good drainage solution will help prevent standing water thus eliminating soggy soil and lawn damage for this Boca Raton homeowner.

In addition, proper backyard drainage systems are also designed to redirect water away from the foundation of your home, preventing potential damage like cracks or settling. For this Boca Raton property, a retention wall was constructed to hold back the soil (eliminate erosion) and gently sloped to provide for proper water runoff. This then creates an elevated area that, along with stone pavers, can be used for a very nice outdoor patio. Now the homeowner can enjoy the outdoor space without worrying about standing water, slipping hazards or muddy spots.

Another benefit of a well-designed and well-built retaining wall, as we see with this Boca Raton home, is that it creates visual interest and divides your yard into functional zones. It also adds depth and height, which makes your yard much more visually appealing. You can customize your patio by choosing from various materials (stone, brick, concrete) for both the retention wall and patio, allowing you to match the overall design to your home and landscape style. This is true no matter how small or how large your property is.

Overall this is a definite “Win-Win” project! By mitigating drainage issues and incorporating structural elements like a patio and retention wall, you protect your home and property while creating a more enjoyable, functional, and long-lasting outdoor living space.  We can do the same thing if you have a steeply sloped yard as well, as you can see in this south Florida retaining wall and patio project we did that added 900 square feet of usable outdoor patio area for the homeowner!
