Let’s face it, Harvey reminds us that Houston is built on
what amounts to a massive flood plain, pitted against the cantankerous Gulf of
Mexico and routinely hammered by the biggest rainstorms in the nation. The nation’s fourth largest city is
vulnerable to more devastating flooding in the future.
Harvey may have been unprecedented in and of itself, but we
will be deceiving ourselves if we turn a blind-eye to future flooding. Here are some landscaping flood-prevention
steps –
1. Swales redirect
water damage.
2. Use heavier mulch.
3. Divert rain
spouts.
4. Add drainage to
the sides of your house.
There are others. To
