Protecting your home from water seepage is essential. Landscape erosion around a home’s foundation can be an annoying issue for homeowners. Heavy rain can cause your landscaping efforts to be swept away. As spring nears and the heavy rain is upon us, protecting your home from the heavy rain is essential. Here are three ways to protect your garden and home from heavy rain.
Protecting Your Home – Redirect Water
You may not realize it, but your gutters play an essential role in protecting your home from rainwater. Gutters direct water away from your home so that it doesn’t sit around your foundation and cause issues.
For these reasons, keeping your gutters clear and debris free is essential by keeping up to date with regular gutter maintenance.
Erosion Control
One of the easiest ways to control erosion around a foundation is by using decorative measures that serve a dual purpose. First, you can plant grass or another low-to-the-ground cover to keep the soil where you want it. Other options include timbers, concrete pavers, liners, rocks and gravel. These materials are aesthetically pleasing and prevent erosion around your home’s foundation.
