Browse Forums General Discussion 1 Dec 06, 2004 4:58 pm Hi everyone - I have an extensive yard drainage job I need help with. We have a very difficult hilltop lot with exceptionally painful clay soil. There is trouble with the retaining walls and the drainage throughout is just a mess.
Basically, I'm wondering what would be the appropriate tradesperson to contact. Would it be a plumber, a landscaper or something else? Many thanks for your help~ keep it simple. Re: Yard Drainage Help 8Dec 07, 2004 9:08 pm Hmm, a slope and clay osunds VERY fmailiar to me...

Re: Yard Drainage Help 11Feb 15, 2005 8:06 am We have started installing slotted PVC pipes all around our house to prevent the water running underneath. We had some rain last night and all is looking ok today.
We ended up hiring 2 horticulturists to do the job. It certainly isn't cheap but it is necessary. Over the top of the pipe we have just got screenings and it doesn't look very attractive so hopefully we can hide it somehow.

If you can't find him, any landscaper will do, the soil thing and retaining wall should be right up his aly. I say Landscaper not Plumber. Good luck. I agree Landscaper seems the most appropriate.
