This Is How I Dry Up My Muddy Yard
Got Mud?
If you live in an area with a lot of rainfall, you might be used to having a muddy backyard. Having all that sitting water in your yard can lead to lots of problems over time.
Having a muddy backyard is more than just a nuisance. Luckily, by following these tips, you can get your yard back into shape in no time.
Tip #1
Gravel
Using gravel is a simple and effective way to cut down on yard flooding. By strategically placing lawn gravel into areas of your yard, you can significantly improve the drainage.
Tip #2
Kitty Litter
Kitty litter is made to absorb liquids, so why not use it to soak of a small area of flooding in your yard? Simply spread the litter, let it sit for 1-2 days, then scoop it up.
Tip #3
A French Drain
A French drain is basically a trench filled with rocks and gravel, which allows you to redirect the water flow in your yard from undesired areas to desired areas.
Tip #4
Straw
An inexpensive and readily-available option to consider for a muddy yard is straw. Simply spread the straw across a large area that you need to soak up water.
