Drainage Upgrades for the Pittsburgh Area
Bio Swales
A bioswale is a shallow, landscaped channel designed to slow, capture, and filter stormwater runoff using plants, soil, and natural filtration processes. Adding a bioswale to your drainage project helps direct water away from structures, reducing erosion and improves water quality.
Rain Gardens
Enhance your landscape’s beauty and sustainability with a rain garden, designed to absorb runoff while supporting vibrant, native plants. This eco-friendly solution not only reduces erosion and flooding but also creates a thriving habitat for local wildlife and pollinators.
Rain Water Harvesting
Incorporating rainwater harvesting into your drainage project allows you to capture and reuse water for irrigation, reducing your water bills and environmental impact. It’s a smart, sustainable upgrade that turns stormwater into a valuable resource for your landscape.

Drainage FAQ
What is a French drain?
A French drain is a trench filled with gravel or rock containing a perforated pipe that redirects surface and groundwater away from your property. At Lyons Landscapes, we use French drains to efficiently solve drainage issues, preventing water buildup and protecting your landscape from erosion and damage.
Why are my down spouts backing up?
Downspouts can back up due to clogs from leaves, debris, or sediment buildup in the gutters or underground drainage pipes. At Lyons Landscapes, we assess and clear blockages while also offering solutions like installing catch basins or French drains to improve water flow and prevent future backups.
Why is my lawn always soggy?
A soggy lawn can result from poor drainage, compacted soil, or excessive water accumulation from downspouts or rain runoff. At Lyons Landscapes, we can assess your property and implement effective drainage solutions, such as French drains or regrading, to improve water flow and keep your lawn healthy and dry.
How to tell if my drainage system is clogged?
If you're noticing pooling water, soggy spots in your yard, or slow drainage after rainfall, your system may be clogged. Our team at Lyons Landscapes can assess and clear your drainage systems, ensuring efficient water flow to protect your property from damage.
