Side yard drainage problems are one of the most common issues homeowners face in Calgary. Poor drainage can lead to water pooling, soggy lawns, foundation damage, and even runoff onto sidewalks. At A Green Future Landscaping, we specialize in engineered drainage solutions that protect your property and enhance curb appeal.
Our Recent Projects:
1. Side Yard French Drain Installation
In this project, we installed a properly sloped French drain to redirect water away from the home. Using perforated pipe, gravel, and landscape fabric, the system ensures water seeps into the ground efficiently while protecting the yard from erosion and pooling.

2. Extended Side Yard Drainage Solution
In another Calgary home, we extended drainage along the side yard using deep drywells and French drain integration, solving continuous runoff problems while keeping leaves and debris managed with proper filters. This project also demonstrates how drainage solutions can double as landscaping features.
