Landscaping Drainage in Northeast Ohio: Why Grading & Drainage Are Critical to Your Outdoor Space
Northeast Ohio’s challenging climate—marked by heavy rains, snow, and freeze-thaw cycles—makes effective landscaping drainage essential. Without proper systems, homeowners face costly problems like foundation damage, dead plants, erosion, and even legal liabilities from runoff or ice buildup. The Pattie Group emphasizes that drainage starts with smart grading—strategically shaping the landscape to direct water away from structures. They offer tailored solutions like downspout tie-ins, catch basins, swales, erosion control, and eco-friendly rain gardens, all designed to comply with local stormwater regulations. Their systems are discreet, durable, and built to endure the region’s tough weather, improving both the usability and value of outdoor spaces. Homeowners are encouraged to address drainage early to protect their property investment and enjoy a safer, more functional landscape.
