Flooding tips
Are puddles in your garden during a rainstorm not an unknown phenomenon for you? Then your garden is not prepared for the amount of water that needs to be dealt with. However, you can do something about this. Check out the tips below with solutions.
Tip 1: Remove tiles from your yard
Remove tiles from your garden. By replacing tiles in your yard with greenery i.e. plants, trees and grass, water can better sink into the soil in that area. This helps prevent flooding during downpours. So get rid of those puddles!
Tip 2: Health for a clean gutter.
Health for a clean gutter. If it becomes clogged with leaves or other debris, this can cause flooding. Clean your gutters at least once a year. So you are ahead of the problems. Check the website Don't wait for water | What to do in case of flooding for more tips.
Tip 3: Health for a clean ditch
Health for a clean ditch if it borders your plot. The ditch must maintain the established width and depth for proper water supply and drainage. See the Ditch Maintenance page.
