Get Rid of Standing Water
Grand Rapids gets an average of 37 inches of rain a year. Pile on the yearly 64 inches of snow and your landscape gets a lot of water!
Sometimes that’s a good thing. But if not properly cared for, your yard can become flooded with standing water.
Don’t let a soggy lawn ruin your weekend plans.

Torchwood’s Landscape Drainage Services
French drain installation
Want to keep landscape issues out of sight and out of mind?
Ask Torchwood Landscaping about a French drain installation.
French drains are a special channel system that works underground. They take all of that extra Grand Rapids water and divert it away from your landscape.
That way your yard stays healthy and dry. Perfect for whenever you want to humble the teenagers in a game of cornhole or try out a little backyard yoga.
Landscape Drainage Isn’t Something You Want to Put Off
You might ask yourself, “what harm can a little extra water cause?”
Unfortunately, a lot.
Without proper landscape drainage the water on your property has nowhere to go. Or at least nowhere good.
Standing water kills your landscape, harming the grass, trees and flowers you work so hard to maintain. Plus, it’s a breeding ground for insects and bacteria.
Even worse, if the water isn’t properly diverted, it can leak into your basement or destroy your home’s foundation.
That’s not something your family should have to worry about. Let us fix the problems before they get any worse.
