Revamping a Drowning Backyard

We were contacted by this family to help them with their backyard drainage issues. Whenever there was a rain event the customer would have to wait weeks to be able to do anything in the backyard. This made it difficult to host BBQ’s and was causing extra unnecessary daily cleaning because their dog would come in from outside with wet paws.

The couple also just had a baby and wanted to ensure that they fixed their drainage issues once and for all so that they could actually enjoy their backyard.

Sam came up with a one-of-a-kind French Drain layout using Baughman Tile pipe, which is a special blue pipe exclusively used by Back 40 Landscaping that does not crush or clog.

The end result was a backyard that can be used quickly after rain and a useable space for all!

We hired Sam and his team to put drainage in our backyard that badly floods every fall/winter, and to also to removed some very over grown trees. Right from the start, Back 40 was extremely professional, thorough and great at communication. As with most construction/reno jobs there are surprises along the way. Sam was great at explaining our options and working with our budget, while making sure we were setting our yard up for future success and fewer problems.

They went above and beyond. As they state on their website, they really do challenge the status quo and look at things differently. Because of that, we have a drainage system better than any out there. We have more work to do in the future and Sam and his team at Back 40 will be the first people we call when the time comes.
