Yard & Landscape Drainage for Temecula homeowners & businesses

Standing water lingers on Temecula lawns because the valley's Auld and Murrieta soils are rated slow-permeability with 35–50% clay, and a dry well only works where water actually soaks away. On these soils an infiltration pit fills and stays full, so yard drainage here means catch basins and area drains piped to a surface outlet rather than a pit the clay won't empty.

Yard & Landscape Drainage questions from Temecula customers

Why won't a dry well work in my Temecula backyard?
A dry well only works if water drains out of it into the surrounding soil. Temecula's Auld and Murrieta soils are rated slow-permeability with 35 to 50 percent clay, so a pit dug into them fills during a storm and holds water instead of releasing it. On these soils, yard drainage has to move water to a surface outlet rather than infiltrate it.
My lawn stays soggy for days after a Temecula storm — what causes that?
The valley's clay soils shed water slowly, and the region's rain arrives in a few intense winter storms that saturate the ground faster than it can absorb. Water then sits in low spots and flat lawn areas. Catch basins and area drains set at those low points and piped to an outlet clear it far faster than the clay will on its own.
Where does yard drainage water go on a typical Temecula tract lot?
On graded tract lots it is routed to the street through the curb and the city's storm-drain system, or to an approved on-lot drainage device. Because the clay won't take it underground, the design depends on reaching that outlet, so a yard system is planned around the nearest legal discharge point, not just the wet spot itself.
