[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you know the path of the stream, build a berm to divert it [/quote] I agree. Depending on your slope, you may not need a steep one like in the pictures. We resloped the earth outside our basement walkout away from the house and created a shallow berm, maybe 5-10 degrees. Water gets trapped in the berm. We then planted zoysia grass because the area is sunny. It aborbs the water and has really slowed the water rolling down the hill such that water no longer collects at the bottom of the yard either. [/quote] PP to this comment. Sorry. Looking at that attachment again, we did a swale. [/quote]
