Yard drainage in Julington Creek

Julington Creek is the line between Duval and St. Johns counties, and the neighborhoods on its south bank — Julington Creek Plantation first among them — are counted with Fruit Cove in the Census: about 10,900 detached homes, 86 percent owner-occupied, built around 2002. The creek matters for drainage because the land slopes toward it very gently, and the lots nearest the water have the highest water table in our zone outside the beaches — 2 feet down in a wet August is normal. A dry well is often not an option here; the answer is a route to the street or to the community's pond system, and a French drain that intercepts water before it reaches the slab. Julington Creek Plantation has plenty of paver driveways and pool decks from the early 2000s that are due for lifting, re-sanding and sealing, and the oaks that make the streets pretty keep the gutters full from November to March.
