Flooding Mitigated by Landscaping

Landscaping is more than just a beautiful display of plants. It can also function as a way to prevent having a flooded building on your hands. Be sure that your yard has a slope that takes water away from your home. Retaining walls can help with this too when flooding hits.

How does Landscaping Help

One big thing to check is your trees. Ensure that the root systems of your trees are not damaging your foundation. Even small cracks can let floodwater in and wreak havoc on your business. Keep tree limbs trimmed and off the roof. Keep their roots from growing under foundations and breaking water mains.
