Wow

You need marsh plants. That will help with snow melt, but also when you get big rains the rest of the year. My yard is on a much smaller scale, but I have water-loving plants in areas known to collect water. It helps keep the water away from the foundation and gets rid of it faster.

new subscriber here to your new channel and l have to say it is awesome. Love seeing you transform cars but this is on another level. Greetings from Alison in Northern Ireland

You have amazing property!

Mitch, jeans and a lot of natural views. Top 😊❤😂

I was thinking why did you not install a heated driveway close to your house? Maybe it might be your future thoughts but just a suggestion

You got booty tickled bc the guys put fill next to your tractor? Ego is more fragile than eggshells 😂

That fake music is horrible.

I’m so jealous of your dirt. I come from the land of red clay haha

It seems no one thought of drainage before deveoping the sub. French drains work great, but in your case there is no where to drain it to. If one neighbor does something drastic, you all pay. I live in a suburb of Detroit, not far from Lake St Clair, so water flows eastward toward the lake, often in the back yards. I was getting major water from two sides of my yard, so we had a French drain installed 2 years ago, and after two winters and many severe downpours, I am happy to say we no longer get flooding. The pop-up emitter was brought out front and drains down my driveway, oftem peeing for a day after a big downpour. No puddles and I can cut my lawn with the tractor as soon as it al melts. Amazing.

Thanks for sharing this, I look forward to seeing what you are going to do about your drainage this summer…so cool, we learn so much from you.

You want your audience to watch in video promotions and ads. Get outta here with that nonsense. I’m happy to support this type of content but that’s too much.

Great work! Hard work pays off!

As a European this is what I think of when thinking of the States and not New York City or Los Angeles like my peers do. This is the American Dream

I love how this channel actually shows your personality. You are funny😆

Wow Mitch ! I bet your arm muscles were burning! I run my string trimmer in shorts ! Where We live , the Gulf Coast where the soil is sandy. I am going to tell you, that sand smarts!

It's not a fault of mother nature it's only reason to correct mistakes next spring. Now you have got a valuable experience and this is a big plus.

You need to get @post10 to figure out your drainage issues!

We have rain gardens in PNW so I’m wondering if there can be a snow garden of sorts. Plants that wake up super thirsty or evergreens of some variety

I wonder if there is a way to create perhaps a reservoir that collects the run off while also providing a place to use if the area starts getting hurt by a dry spell. A man made lake?

Looks like building on flood plains

Why cut up against whats already cut ? Best solution is "snake cut" and on the return cut the area missed. Its quick and less strain on the front. ------ Weeds ? You need self growing meadow of wild flowers which keep keeps them down and cut once a year, they dont grow over 1m. I will add you have planted all those shrubs and trees too close, so check out on the web ! Pjm, Sweden.

This killed me lol 101°F here today and he's talking about spring

Ao easy mate, just set a pond there… some people wait years to fill theirs, you can make it in a few weeks for the sounds of it

Your Father has a smaller more manageable yard, love that Robot Mower! You shoulda built your house on a higher mound! Is their anything you can do for future spring melts? 🥰

Love the new channel!

Loved seeing your Dad

Grading your yard is a good idea, but you may want to put some berms around your periphery where water comes in. then the only place it could come in is in the front, but if it gets to that point, it's too much, regardless. This is why whenever I have looked at properties in the past, I am very particular about checking existing grading and how it relates to the surrounding properties. That ends up being so important, and most people don't even think about it.

On a positive note now you know what to prepare for, for the future 🪴🌿🌲 Can’t wait to see your yard bloom into a beautiful masterpiece that I know it’s going to be❤

A suggestion: I would like to see a date range of the videos and projects you do. Its hard to understand and appreciate how long some of these things take.

Mitch: Good luck with your yard and water protection, of your house, this Summer.

Wow,what a awesome place you have, best wishes for you and your property, you do great work, if I was younger, I would have a crush. Best always to you.

Wow! That's some serious waterfront property you have. Looking forward to how you solve the problem.

Might I say that must have been an incredibly high end/expensive hot tub to warrant a crane to remove it. I deal with water all the time I pump water all the time we use 2” centrifugal pumps with Honda engines. Run off is destructive that’s for sure. Culverts should always be as placed as low as possible, it’s the best practice. Interesting and personal view of your land. Perhaps you could use a culvert or perhaps a nyloplast structure with honeycomb steel cover in the low point from the studio side to the open side yourself. A lot of this water looks equalized. We have certain areas that are near sea level in Maine that this issue occurs. Ultimately while it may not have been deemed necessary at first, but catch basins and underground 15-18” underground drain pipes should have probably been installed in places.

Beautiful cinematography! I love the drone shots! You definitely have a vision like your father 😊

Hey Mitch, The yard and the house are coming along. Love the updates. Keep them coming!!!❤😍💯

Dig a trout pond

Loved this ❤❤ Typical.......it doesn't make a difference, which country your from..... we'll just subdivide this parcel of land.... and not plan drainage properly 😒 then home-owners are left trying to rectify the problem 🙄 Sooooo looking forward to the next Yard Geek🤓 ❤ from melbourne....Australia 🇦🇺

Burning

Retention pond or you need to tile your property

I'd expect this scenario to become more the norm and not the exception with climate changing rapidly. Seems like you got it covered though!

PLUS 22 ?!?!?!? Stay safe

💣🔥💥💦👟✔🤓 livin n a potential flood zone myself I 4got 2 mention another idea the city dug like 4 wells so far deep... so the water runoff n2 those wells.🔥

Lucky you’ve got the right tools for the job with Johnny & the kitty Cat. Personally I’d build a nice big berm and plant it out to give you privacy & hold out the water when it melts. Lucky you’ve got the footage of the whole flow to see how you can mitigate on your property. Those developers need a good uppercut & you can see where the road towards the end has been affected in the past with the cracks patched with tar, definitely not enough culvert pipes under the driveways to help the water move more efficiently.

Make a dry dich where the most water collected with dry moats connecting. So that in the future the melt can drain the yard without making the yard a muddy swamp. Maybe even make the complete yard surrounded by a mini berm to protect the smaller plants from erosion. Anyway, great video, can't wait for the next one.

Look into natural rainwater harvesting and bioswales - good way to make a ground sponge to keep the spring melt watering your plants for a while longer!

Oh I so need that robotic mower. Mowing isn't something I enjoy doing. Thanks for this info Yard Geek! Glad you got the water cleared out. The house is coming along nicely!

My grandfather would stick to a John Deere ride-on lawnmower, just how he likes it.

Yard Geek and Post10: the crossover collaboration no one saw coming! (One can dream, right?)
