A properly designed drainage swale redirects surface runoff away from vulnerable areas while working with the natural grade of the property. It can be a practical solution for soggy lawns, erosion and repeated surface-water problems.

A drainage swale channels rainwater along a gently sloped, shallow path, directing runoff away from buildings and low-lying areas to help reduce pooling, erosion, and drainage problems.
Proper slope grading, effective water channels, and erosion control help direct runoff safely away from structures and protect your property from water damage.
A drainage swale is a shallow channel formed into the landscape to carry small or large amounts of surface water. Depending on conditions, the bottom can include compacted soil, rock or concrete, while filter fabric and stone help protect the banks from erosion.
Swales are especially useful when the primary problem is water moving across the surface rather than groundwater collecting below grade.
