Drainage

Properly maintaining the water flow and drainage on any property, be it residential or commercial, is an essential part of avoiding potential landscape issues and even pricey damage. Excessive standing water leads to erosion, which will ruin carefully planned and installed landscape and, if left unchecked long enough, can even lead to costly property damage.

A seemingly simple component of your landscape drainage set-up, the drainage catch basin, is the MVP of the operation. Whether it’s water from an irrigation system or rainfall during the wet season, water runoff is a consistent concern for property owners and contractors alike. This is especially true if your team’s projects are located in areas that face storm seasons. The catch basins help avoid potential disaster, so it’s crucial to use only the best quality supplies. The brands you’ve trusted with maintaining quality work in your business, like NDS and Rain Bird, have manufactured durable drainage supplies that you and your clients can depend on, even under the toughest of circumstances.

Installing quality drainage catch basins can protect both landscaping and property from the damage that extra water will inevitably cause. Using this essential drainage product helps ensure that all that excess moisture flows to the right place while simultaneously stopping any debris from finding its way into the pipes. Avoid potential clogging and expensive repairs down the road by making sure any property is set up with durable catch basins.

It’s vital to take note of the area you’re working on and any known flooding concerns to determine the appropriate number of catch basins in the correct sizes you’ll need to handle the amount of water the project may face. With options ranging from 6” round to 24” square, your team can easily and quickly get any job done right.

Be sure the grate covering your basin is also load-rated appropriately for any potential traffic your drainage supplies may encounter. Whether it’s only light foot traffic or needs to stand up to heavier lawn equipment, have confidence your supplies will be up to the challenge.   

Being environmentally conscious continues to be a growing priority for property owners and contractors all over. Responsible use of resources and using products that are mindful of their carbon footprint are important when managing most projects your team will take on. Manufacturers are meeting and exceeding that demand by creating drainage supplies that allow you to be environmentally smart while still providing the highest quality supplies to ensure you get the task done well, with the durability you can depend on.

Rain Bird continues to make environmentally friendly products a primary focus of their manufacturing. All of their black and green drainage products are made from recycled plastic material. These High-Impact Polystyrene (HIPS) and High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) supplies are also 100% recyclable. 

So not only have they been responsibly sourced to start with, disposing of them properly when you’re done means they’ll be recycled into new products rather than creating more waste in landfills. From drainage catch basins to sewer pipe fittings and more, you’ll be able to outfit your entire water management solution with these top-of-the-line products. Shop confidently, knowing you’re supplying every project with the most eco-friendly products possible.

Conserving resources with a well set-up and properly maintained landscape drainage system can be simple when you use durable, high-quality products. With trusted manufacturers like ADS, NDS, Multi Fittings, and Rain Bird that know your work’s intricacies and have been trusted by contractors for years, you can rest assured that your projects are in good hands and will stand sturdy for many years to come.
