Yard & Landscape Drainage for Fallbrook homeowners & businesses
The flat part of a Fallbrook yard is often the wet part. The Bonsall series, whose type location is two miles south of Fallbrook, occupies concave positions and is rated very slow permeability, 35 to 50 percent clay, hydrologic group D. The granitic hillside soils around it are well to somewhat excessively drained, so runoff arrives where it cannot soak in.
If the water is moving through the ground and not across it, see French drain installation in Fallbrook.

Yard & Landscape Drainage questions from Fallbrook customers
- Why does the low flat part of my lot stay soggy when the slopes drain fine?
- The soils differ over short distances. Granitic Fallbrook, Vista and Cieneba soils sit on the hills and are described as well drained or somewhat excessively drained. Bonsall, whose type location is two miles south of Fallbrook, forms in concave positions and is described as moderately well drained with very slow permeability and 35 to 50 percent clay. Hillside runoff arrives at the part of the yard least able to absorb it.
- Can grove irrigation water be routed off the property along with rain?
- No. The County states that all sources of pollution, including irrigation runoff, are prohibited from leaving the property, and that only rainwater is allowed in streets and storm drains; releasing pollutants into the storm drain system violates the Watershed Protection Ordinance. That matters where the community plan actively promotes country estates combining residential and light agricultural uses, especially groves.
- Our lot is half an acre with a grove on the slope. Does that change how yard drainage gets laid out?
- The Fallbrook Community Plan sets a minimum lot of one-half gross acre in the Semi-Rural category and one acre in Rural Lands, and promotes combined residential and light agricultural uses. Plan policy also limits development of steep slopes to agriculture and very low residential densities. Yards at that scale carry long overland runs across planted ground rather than short lawn-to-street paths.
- There's rock outcrop in our yard. Does that change what drainage is possible?
- Rock outcrop is a mapped major component in eight of the soil map units intersecting the Fallbrook area, rated hydrologic group D, and the Cieneba-Rock outcrop complex is mapped on 30 to 75 percent slopes with very stony surfaces. Where outcrop and shallow Cieneba soils dominate, there is little depth available for buried work, and surface conveyance carries more of the load.
