Fixing Standing Water: How to Keep Your Wisconsin Yard Dry During the Spring Melt

For homeowners in Elm Grove and Brookfield, the arrival of mid-February brings the first big signs of the spring thaw. As the snow melts away, it often leaves behind puddles and muddy spots that can hurt your grass and even damage your home foundation.

In 2026, our focus for Landscaping is on creating a clear path for water to move safely off your property. By setting up a professional system to manage water flow, you stop standing water before it becomes a major headache for your Lawn Care.

Kanavas Landscape Management provides expert Landscaping services and water management plans that prioritize the long-term safety of your Wisconsin property.

Simple Ways to Keep Your Yard From Staying Wet

Successfully protecting your yard from puddles requires a careful look at how water moves across your land:

Using Dry Creek Beds for Better Flow

We create beautiful stone paths that act as a natural way to guide heavy water away from your house during big rain storms.

Installing Underground Drainage Pipes

Our team uses professional pipes buried in the ground to collect extra water from your Lawn and send it to a safe spot.

Checking the Slope of Your Ground

We look at the hills and flat spots in your yard to make sure the ground is tilted away from your home foundation.

Loosening Up Hard Ground

We use professional Lawn Care steps to help your soil soak up water instead of letting it sit on top of the grass.

Confirming Your System is Ready

Our 2026 plans include final checks to make sure your gutters and pipes are clear of debris from the winter months.

Investing in a professional water plan today ensures your yard stays dry and healthy through the entire spring season.
