An app that provides step-by-step drainage solutions tailored to clay soil, helping homeowners prevent waterlogging and lawn damage. It combines soil analysis, seasonal scheduling, and advanced drainage design to stop pooling.
“Homeowner cannot prevent water pooling in reseeded lawn area because the property slopes toward the house, and raising soil risks redirecting water into the foundation.”
“Yard has significant low areas causing water pooling, scalping when mowing at lower heights, and requiring an estimated 400+ cubic yards of topsoil to correct.”
