Update Your Property With a Dry Creek Bed

Dry creek bed

One way to resolve water flow issues is to build a dry creek bed. Dry creek beds can redirect water, help prevent erosion, and resolve drainage issues. Not only are they functional, but they are very attractive in their own right. Some clients have even installed them purely for aesthetic reasons.


Your purpose for the dry creek bed will impact our design. If your dry creek bed is functional, then there is a need to look at the amount of water flow or accumulation, the source of the water, and where to direct the water. If it is built for aesthetic purposes only, then more creative freedom is allowed.

We recently bought a swing set from them. It is great quality and they did a great job setting everything up for us. They were quick to call and make sure we were satisfied with everything and make sure we had everything we needed. Thank you Joe and Sarah, my children LOVE it. It is going to be a great swing set for my kids and grandkids one day. Y'all are the BEST!!

Better Water Control With French Drains

If you have a soggy yard or a wet basement, then a French drain might be your cure. A French drain is a simple, yet versatile way to drain standing water from your yard or basement. Water always flows downhill by the easiest route.


That’s the basic concept behind a French drain. These drains are trenches, which are slightly sloped and filled with round gravel. The trench connects to a pipe that diverts water away from your house. This can dramatically improve water flow.


Good drainage is important to ensure that a home stays dry and free of mold. If groundwater collects in the basement, it is not only an inconvenient eyesore for the homeowner, but it can also lead to wood rot and mold. The most reliable way to eliminate undesirable, free-standing water is to install French drains with slotted pipes, filter fabric, and gravel.


By the way, the name doesn’t come from the country. It’s from Henry French, a judge and farmer in Concord, MA. Henry was the first one who popularized the idea in an 1859 book about farm drainage.

Address Areas That Are Wet or Prone to Erosion

If you have a swampy area or an area that's prone to erosion, then you need to take extra care in your landscaping. These issues can cause real headaches with lost mulch, sitting water, and ruts.


Addressing the issue will require a customized approach. When you trust Dreamscapes Outdoor Living and Play, we'll assess your landscaping to see what the best solution might be. Dry creek beds alleviate drainage issues and redirect water to prevent erosion.


Dry creek beds can also be constructed as a great focal point. They can divide space up in your landscape, add interest, and incorporate color and texture to visually organize your landscape. Plus, dry creek beds work in both sun and shade.


When designing your bed, consider curving the dry creek in a meandering path to slow down the force of water and give it a natural appearance. The rocks should look random with different sizes of stone. Large rocks can be placed along the edges and the smaller stones in the middle of the bed. Plants will add to the natural appearance of the creek.


Whatever option you choose, it's important to address swampy areas sooner rather than later. If left unchecked, these areas can lead to significant erosion and flooding. Fortunately, Dreamscapes Outdoor Living and Play can find the solutions you need.
