Verify that aggressive root systems and soil fills do not disrupt existing yard drainage.
Large trees are being planted, retaining walls are being built, or the yard's slope is being fundamentally altered.
French drains, catch basins, and underground utility lines.
Check for catch basins or downspout drains that cross the yard.
Adding 6 inches of topsoil to level a yard might inadvertently create a dam that prevents rainwater from leaving the property.
Planting a deep-rooted tree directly over a sewer line will eventually lead to root intrusion. The roots will crush the pipe, requiring you to cut down the new tree and excavate the pipe.
Before ordering soil or planting trees. Consult an arborist or drainage expert about root zones and grading.
Contact a Drainage Contractor or Arborist before you cover.
