Drying up a SWAMP yard- start to finish

What happens here

The area beneath the deck, which was previously covered with decorative rock, needs to be graded to prevent water pooling. Workers first move the existing decorative rock to the side. They then add soil to build up the grade and ensure water flows away from the house. Finally, the decorative rock is moved back into place over the newly graded soil.

Goal: Ensure proper drainage under the deck area.

Tools and materials

  • Decorative Rock — Ground cover under the deck
