All of our landscapes need rain, and yet often it creates as many problems as it solves. The runoff from our roofs often destroys our flowerbeds. Instead of simply letting downspouts dump water into the garden, consider installing drainage grates underground to receive the runoff and carry it away to safer areas. The grates can be removed for cleaning from time to time.

Sir,
I have a drainage problem. My lot slopes
toward the front of my house, causing my
porch to flood. I have trenched a small area in front of the house, but am afraid that this may cause the water to seep under the slab. I need advice.
