Water Where You Don’t Want It
A Homeowner’s Guide to Drainage & Erosion in the Piedmont
In the Piedmont, there is an opportunity to work with native clay soils to help address problems many homeowners have: soggy lawns, eroded slopes, water against the foundation, and increased in urban run-off.
This program helps homeowners with traditional and innovative ways to address stormwater runoff in the residential landscape. You will learn how to identify the difference between a surface water problem and a sub-surface problem, how to read your own yard for trouble spots, what simple corrections homeowners can do themselves (downspout extensions, swales, regrading, planting choices), and when to seek professional help. Also covered will be erosion control on slopes, the role of soil testing, and the homeowner-relevant overlap between drainage, foundation health, and insurance liability. Plenty of time will be reserved for questions specific to your own property.
Join Donna Hood, Senior Wetland Specialist with Charlotte Mecklenburg Stormwater Services as she shares her extensive knowledge and expertise in managing water issues in homeowner landscapes.
