Yard drainage in Middleburg

Middleburg is the wooded western edge of Clay County: about 3,200 detached homes with a median build year of 1994, 85 percent owner-occupied and a median value around $242,000. Lots are bigger here than in the suburbs closer to Jacksonville, many of them under tall pines, and some streets have no curb at all — so the question on a Middleburg inspection is often not how to move the water but where it is allowed to go. Black Creek and its tributaries run through the area, and the lots nearest them sit low. On flat, curbless lots a swale to the roadside ditch, or a dry well where the ground is sandy enough and the water table low enough, is often the outlet; we test before we recommend one. Pine needles fill the gutters, so the gutters get checked first. Typical work is regrading a lot that slopes toward the house, downspout lines to a swale and a French drain along the low side of the yard.
