    Make a dry dich where the most water collected with dry moats connecting. So that in the future the melt can drain the yard without making the yard a muddy swamp. Maybe even make the complete yard surrounded by a mini berm to protect the smaller plants from erosion. Anyway, great video, can't wait for the next one.

    We had a winter like that in New Brunswick when we lived there, we had three +40 cm blizzards in one week and it went on from there. Then boom, summer overnight and the melt started. We lived in military housing so a lot of the water ran through the basement. At least you are able to fix your water flow problem yourself. The acreage is looking great, fingers crossed for your trees coming back ok.

    Oh, I feel your pain. Brilliant idea with the sump pump, as long as you’ve an area downhill to flow it to. Preferably not your neighbours if you like them. Our sump pump in the States starts running mid April and stops around mid June. We had to dig retention ponds on two of our properties and raise the driveways. We needed a canoe to get to the post box and collect packages from the end of the driveway! 🚣‍♀️ 😂

    The drone really comes in handy for this channel. I laughed when you said spring melt and then of course more snow. This is a good test to see how much water the eco buffer can take. It really got a lot there. So that was a good test. The neighbors yard is well done, but he could use some elevation. I am SO glad you didn't suffer any damage to your house from all this water. Ok, so back to Dad's house for a minute, am I the only one that noticed the off kilter bird house in the back ground? You would need a small army of those mowers to do your whole acreage. 🤣That cracks me up. Anyway, at least this was a good test run of your work on leveling the yard. Now you know where some grading might help. You look so cool leaning on Jonny at the end, he is definitely one of my favorite purchases of yours. Thanks for doing this Mitch, can't wait to see the next one. Have a great weekend, you deserve some rest. 💜

    • @TheYardGeek
      @TheYardGeek  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yes the drone footage is great! Gives really good perspective for things like this. This was definitely a worst case scenario, and one I would hope doesn’t happen again. But, so long as the water isn’t coming in the house it won’t be a problem since it all drains out and the evaporates away in a week or two. Trees should be ok too I hope! As for my neighbour, his house was built below grade so he has to really be careful during any spring melt, but he’s taking action on improving the drainage in his yard too.
      Haha, yeah my mom loves the birds. Wouldn’t that be cool to have like 10 of the navimows working in sequence on my grass?! Hahaha
      Anyways, glad you enjoyed this one Joel! See you in the next one!

    It seems no one thought of drainage before deveoping the sub. French drains work great, but in your case there is no where to drain it to. If one neighbor does something drastic, you all pay. I live in a suburb of Detroit, not far from Lake St Clair, so water flows eastward toward the lake, often in the back yards. I was getting major water from two sides of my yard, so we had a French drain installed 2 years ago, and after two winters and many severe downpours, I am happy to say we no longer get flooding. The pop-up emitter was brought out front and drains down my driveway, oftem peeing for a day after a big downpour. No puddles and I can cut my lawn with the tractor as soon as it al melts. Amazing.

  • @loverlyme
    @loverlyme 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    From seeing how high the road has been built up (thanks probably to the engineers who could foresee this event), that's a pretty good sign that everyone should have built their homes a bit higher off the ground. You may have to consider putting in a large pond (more like a mini-lake) up the back of your yard and sloping downwards towards this for future events. It's something that hasn't been communicated well to the property buyers. I guess they thought it was obvious from the way that road is built.

    Lucky you’ve got the right tools for the job with Johnny & the kitty Cat. Personally I’d build a nice big berm and plant it out to give you privacy & hold out the water when it melts. Lucky you’ve got the footage of the whole flow to see how you can mitigate on your property. Those developers need a good uppercut & you can see where the road towards the end has been affected in the past with the cracks patched with tar, definitely not enough culvert pipes under the driveways to help the water move more efficiently.

    I'm no expert but what if you redirected the melted snow to a retaining pond in the corner of your front yard? Which could be a water source for when there is drought. If it's a wet season the overflow could go into the ditch.

  • @AlexanderWaylon
    @AlexanderWaylon 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Might I say that must have been an incredibly high end/expensive hot tub to warrant a crane to remove it. I deal with water all the time I pump water all the time we use 2” centrifugal pumps with Honda engines. Run off is destructive that’s for sure. Culverts should always be as placed as low as possible, it’s the best practice. Interesting and personal view of your land. Perhaps you could use a culvert or perhaps a nyloplast structure with honeycomb steel cover in the low point from the studio side to the open side yourself. A lot of this water looks equalized. We have certain areas that are near sea level in Maine that this issue occurs. Ultimately while it may not have been deemed necessary at first, but catch basins and underground 15-18” underground drain pipes should have probably been installed in places.

    • @TheYardGeek
      @TheYardGeek  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      He could, but it would need to drain into the same undersized system that is already not handling it. Not good planning at all by developers- exceptional year or not, as more houses are added on that flat plain- more concrete more run off less ground to absorb water. His drone footage looked a lot like what the farmers in MN this year were dealing with, their crop fields flooding as the drainage ditches were above capacity and the drain pumps were basically recycling the water until the levels started going down.

    Your Father has a smaller more manageable yard, love that Robot Mower! You shoulda built your house on a higher mound! Is their anything you can do for future spring melts? 🥰

      Yes! The Navimow is really cool and great for a yard like his!
      Definitely should have set the house higher and brought in more fill dirt, but holy heck would that have cost me a small fortune 😄

    I looked at your links. What drone do you use or recommend comparable on Amazon?

    @theyardgeek I hope you're able to add content here more consistently. This is a great channel and very educational, but such long waits for short videos 🥺. I imagine it can't be easy running the shop, creating content, building out your acreage, and anything else you have going on, but I hope you're able to add something soon. In the meantime take care ♥️

    Just wondering! Did you put deep the big drain pipes somewhere in the soil from the yard when the snow melted away? Successful job?🤔😊👍👏🙌

      I’ve been thinking about what all my options are…whether it’s a retention pond, a more sophisticated spot to pump the water out, or just letting nature do its thing as it doesn’t last long anyways!
