Thanks for introducing yourself! I secretly...Amy, <br /><br />Thanks for introducing yourself! I secretly wish I had your skills! I have just been redesigning my website to get it onto a wordpress template and I'd love to know what you think. <br /><br />There are a few options for you but your best bet might be a french drain. That is basically a trench that you fill with gravel, and in the bottom of the trench you put a pipe that has holes in it (and is wrapped in filter fabric to keep out dirt), so the water can seep in. Then you run the pipe out to the storm drain. <br /><br />The issue that comes up sometimes, though, is if your property is too flat, like if you live in Northpark. Then you can't get the pipe part of the system to work because there isn't enough fall between the problem area and the storm drain inlet. If that is the case, you can drain to a bigger gravel-filled pit in your backyard that basically allows the water to slowly percolate into the ground. This is actually the most eco-minded solution, because it keeps pollutants out of the storm drain system, and hence out of the ocean. If you need more help, send me an email or give me a call- all my contact info is on the Sage website!<br /><br />Cheers,<br />KateKatePresentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12797262922924439989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7595321376812236517.post-1927728342181897122012-10-11T06:38:37.787-07:002012-10-11T06:38:37.787-07:00Hi I'm Amy, a fellow San Diegian.

I come here because I like the photos and your perspective on landscape design. We are buying a new house and I would love a QA type thing. I specifically have a question about how you incorporate drainage. The side of our house drains toward it and we need it to drain away obviously. It is only about 5 or 6 feet wide but I'd still like it to be somewhat aesthetically pleasing.

A suggestion...YAY!<br /><br />Just followed you. Great work!<br /><br />A suggestion: the boards "Things I Love" and "Inspiration" are not titled very usefully. Hopefully everything on your board is something you love and that inspires you. I'd suggest being more specific — both to help prospective fans to choose which boards to follow (or unfollow) AND to help make pinning easier for you.<br /><br />:-)DCHARRISONhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11147038767549208893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7595321376812236517.post-77330674025873512612012-09-12T21:29:03.445-07:002012-09-12T21:29:03.445-07:00Thanks, had a look - lovely gardens.Thanks, had a look - lovely gardens.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11506560236657107272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7595321376812236517.post-7558972661413518992012-09-12T12:46:05.423-07:002012-09-12T12:46:05.423-07:00Pinterest is so easy — and addictive.
