Drainage
Your lot has been designed with grading and swales to divert water away from the foundation of your home. Be sure not to modify these areas with additional grading, plantings, concrete, or other obstructions to impede water flow. As noted above, foot traffic, rolling trash containers, pets, mowing the sides of your yard, etc. during wet conditions can cause ruts that impede lot drainage. Swales are designed to remove standing water within a 48 hour period, but muddy conditions can remain for longer. These conditions may be more prevalent in areas with little sun exposure, so additional care should be taken.
