Standing water and drainage problems in yard — Los Angeles, California
Standing water in your yard after rain creates mosquito breeding grounds, kills grass, and can seep toward your foundation causing structural issues. Poor drainage often results from compacted soil, improper grading, or blocked drainage paths. A landscaper can regrade your yard, install French drains or dry wells, and create swales to redirect water away from your home and usable outdoor areas.
