For those
of you with puddles in your yard, now might be a good time to “flag” those low
areas that retain water. No need to wait until you’re fishing your mower out of
the marsh; look now to see where the puddling low spots are, and later, where
they disappeared last. Once determined where the very lowest spots are and
flagged, you can install drain tile to carry the excess away when the ground is
firmer and digable.
You will
need to pipe this water to a lower spot on your property; this will only work
if you can activate this law of physics.
There are a
number of lawn drains out there if you wish the water to exit quickly. Or you
can run perforated tile under the soggy spots and let the water perk away into
this tile. Keep in mind that all tile must gradually run down hill from these
low spots; a transit work great for this, but a 4 foot level will accomplish
this as well.
