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.
