We respond to storm damage emergencies 24/7 in San Bernardino County.

Our local Chino/Chino Hills teams respond to storm damage emergencies every winter in Chino Hills. Landscaping offers a creative and effective way to manage water drainage while enhancing the beauty of your property. Thoughtfully designed landscaping can protect your home from heavy rainwater intrusion by diverting water from the foundation and creating natural pathways for rainwater to disperse safely.

One popular option is a dry creek bed—a shallow, rocky trench that channels rainwater away from the house. This not only adds a natural aesthetic but also prevents pooling near the foundation.

Another beautiful drainage solution is a rain garden with water-loving plants like irises, ferns, and sedges, which can absorb excess water. These plants thrive in wet conditions and help filter and slow runoff, preventing it from reaching your foundation.

Use permeable pavers on walkways and patios to encourage water to soak into the ground rather than run off toward your home. Adding mulch around plants can further improve soil absorption, reduce erosion, and enhance your landscape's appearance.

With a well-designed landscape incorporating drainage-friendly elements, you can protect your home from water intrusion while enjoying a beautiful, rain-resilient garden.
