TITLE

The Atlanta area sometimes sees heavy rains. As the saying goes, when it rains, it pours, which is not good news for your home if you do not have proper drainage. Without good outdoor drainage solutions in place, heavy rains can bring standing water, erosion control problems, and possibly cause damage to your house. Home builders sometimes do not put the proper care into creating the correct grading you need to direct rainwater away from your home, as well as away from landscaped areas that can suffer from standing water. Fortunately, it is possible to install outdoor drainage solutions after the fact, and come away with a yard that will never turn into a muddy mess after a rainstorm.

If you live in the Atlanta area and need outdoor drainage solutions, erosion control, grading, or retaining walls for your property, look no further.

At Angel Landscape Designs we pay special attention to creating a proper foundation, understanding the necessity of erosion control and controlling water flow to send rain water away from your and your neighbors' houses. In terms of outdoor drainage solutions, we use retaining walls when necessary, but are often able to save our customers money by grading and using our Georgia red clay and boulders to create berms to control the water and create erosion control. Outdoor drainage solutions are the foundation of a good landscape design. We look at the total picture before making any erosion control recommendations, listening carefully to you every step of the way.

One of our customers was an East Marietta homeowner with a real erosion control problem and no usable back yard. We did grading on the back yard to create different levels, and used natural dry-stack Tennessee Field Stone for the retaining walls. The patio was dry-set Crab Orchard flagstone with Zoysia grass planted in the joints. What a transformation! They now LOVE their yard.

Another customer, this one in West Cobb County, found that their builder's solution to erosion control at their new house did not work. Angel Landscape Designs' outdoor drainage solutions changed a serious grading and drainage problem on the most visible side of the house from a muddy drain-off to a landscaped resort! The Angel Landscape Designs crew used Tennessee Field Stone to make dry-set retaining walls, ledger step, stone pathways and even a waterfall to make the new terraces so inviting it is hard to go back inside! This landscape gets accolades from all of their friends.

At Angel Landscape Designs, we love to take on outdoor drainage solution challenge. We recently took a three story steep drop off and turned it into a usable landscape. Erosion control was only one of the reasons we were brought in - they had no backyard! When the Angel Landscape Designs crew was through grading and installing retaining walls, this customer had decorative walkways and steps, planting areas, Zen garden meditation area and a beautiful back yard complete with fencing.
