5 ways to protect your lawn from flooding — tips from garden experts

A waterlogged lawn.

If you live in a zone that is prone to hurricanes or flash floods, your lawn and yard is at an increasing risk of being flooded. This is especially the case if there are shallow areas in your yard that can easily collect excess rainwater, causing damage to your lush, green grass.

That’s why it’s important to take preventative measures to protect your lawn and plants before it gets to that. We ask the experts how to prevent your lawn from flooding, and their top tips.
