Yard drainage in Southside, Jacksonville FL

Southside is the big block of Jacksonville between the St. Johns and the Intracoastal — Baymeadows, Deerwood, Tinseltown and the subdivisions off Beach Boulevard and Southside Boulevard. The housing is mostly from the 1980s and 90s, inside a city whose median home dates from 1986, and much of it stands on land that was wetland before the retention ponds were dug. Lots are small and flat, houses are close together, and the strip between two homes is often the only place the water can go — which is why the most common Southside call is a wet side yard that neither neighbor can mow. The fix is usually a short French drain or a reshaped swale in that strip, tied to the downspouts on both corners, with the outlet at the street or the pond easement where the HOA allows it. Pool decks and lanais that flood at one edge are the other regular: a channel drain, not a bigger pump.
