MANAGING DRAINAGE AND IRRIGATION TIPS
In East Tennessee, effective yard drainage is essential to any outdoor space in Knoxville, Tennessee.
Considering the many environmental and weather changes in East Tennessee, residential flooding and water build up are not uncommon which can damage your outdoor space. In this short article, we’ll discuss a few steps to make managing drainage and irrigation systems a little easier.
Installing French drains is a popular solution; these systems channel excess water away from problem areas using buried pipes and gravel. For areas prone to standing water, surface drains and dry wells can help redirect runoff and prevent waterlogging.
Rain gardens, which utilize native plants and soil amendments, offer an eco-friendly approach by absorbing and filtering runoff.
Remembering to clean and check your irrigation systems for leaves, felled limbs, and debris can help to ensure the systems longevity.
By addressing drainage issues proactively, East Tennessee residents can protect and preserve their properties and enhance their outdoor environment.

HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR WATERING ROUTINE
Watering your yard during dry spells in East Tennessee is essential to maintaining a healthy landscape. To optimize water usage, River Valley Landscapes recommends to water throughly in the early hours of the day to allow the newly applied water to reach the roots of your lush, green landscape. After all, through watering supports even and full growth of your grassy areas!
While consistency is key, we recommend one or two heavy watering days to promote healthy root growth. In an effort to retain moisture, consider applying mulch around larger plants and trees. We recommend looking for organic and sustainably sourced mulch materials for your newly installed landscape design.
Lastly, don’t forget to check your local weather forecasts and be proactive in planning your watering days and be mindful of any local water restrictions.
