Every spring Grand Ledge learns which of its yards sit low, when the thaw comes off the fields and the clay underneath refuses to let the water go. Freedom Yard Drains solves exactly that — yard drains and French drains, downspout lines carried out to daylight, regrading of the soft ground where boots sink and grass will not hold. Soil in the Grand River valley keeps water long after the sky has cleared, and no lawn can be kept green until it can first be kept dry. The good part arrives the following April, when that same yard sheds a four-inch melt and stays firm underfoot. Drainage is invisible when it works, which is precisely the point.
