Flower bed in front Yard? Good or bad for draining?


We are going to fix up our front patio area, and are considering putting in a bed for plants. We’re wondering of anyone has thoughts about whether that’s a good thing or a bad thing from a drainage pov.(we’ve had issues with water in the front of our basement) Does all that dirt soak up the water, or does it just get the ground saturated & seep into the basement. I guess the question is – to pave or not to pave? Thanks

Good Waterproofing Company


We’ve been having an issue with water in our basement and are wondering who people use for waterproofing issues. We’ve had a mason look at it and a plumber, but feel like we need someone who can look at the whole picture. Or maybe just a mason who specializes, or a plumbing co. that’s particularly good with this stuff (water coming through a seam in the front foundation wall – we want to repair it but also locate the source) Thanks!
