Not all yards have drains. We live in a Veranda and all the homes along our side of the street have graded yards that drain to the pond behind our house, and the front yard drains by grade to the street. The contractor said it was very important for any new landscaping not to alter the grade

Our yard drain sits when 4 property lines meet. It is a 12" square drain. I seem to be the one that checks it regularly to be sure it is not overgrown although the gardeners do trim around it. I am down by Sawgrass Grove.

My Brother lives at Linden Isle. He had to take the drain cover off of his drain during the Hurricane. If not the Birdcage would have flooded. He also has a Fence behind the house. No where for the water to go. We live at Linden and have a retention pond behind our Home. Don’t need a drain.

I live in a courtyard villa and have 2 drain covers in opposite ends of my back yard. The yard is sloped from the back wall towards the drains in the middle of the yard.

I took a water hose and put down in the downspout about a foot with water on high. Walked straight out into the yard from the downspout until I found the area that got wet. It took less than 15 minutes of running the water. Pulled up the turf and there was the pop up. Mine was close to the street but not always. You can also buy a dye and do the same thing - watch where the dye comes out.

You just can't go around modifying the existing drainage system. That drain is not yours to modify and is likely part of a larger system, subject to federal, state and local regulations and the TV drainage permit for that District. |

The digging was to find the drain itself. Previous owner put tons of mulch and rocks down. Nothing was changed.

I guess this picture shows how good my drain is working in Mallory Square
