Installing dry gravel beds around a home can be an effective way to divert runoff and prevent flooding during heavy rain events. Dry gravel beds are designed to absorb and channel excess water away from vulnerable areas such as foundations, driveways, and low-lying spots around the property. These beds are typically installed in trenches lined with gravel, which allows rainwater to percolate into the ground rather than pooling on the surface.

During a rainstorm, the gravel bed captures runoff and redirects it to a safe drainage area, preventing water from accumulating around the home. By slowing down the flow of water, dry gravel beds help minimize soil erosion and reduce the risk of water seeping into basements, foundations, or crawl spaces. This method is especially useful in areas where the ground doesn’t naturally absorb water well or where storm drains may be overwhelmed.

In addition to protecting homes from flooding, dry gravel beds can improve the overall drainage system of a property, helping to keep landscaping intact and prevent damage during heavy rainfall. Installing this simple yet effective solution can significantly reduce the risk of water intrusion and damage during severe weather.
