Yard drainage in Green Cove Springs

Green Cove Springs is the Clay County seat, on the west bank of the St. Johns: about 3,400 detached homes with a median build year of 1994, 78 percent owner-occupied and a median value around $283,000. The town mixes old streets near Spring Park and the river, where houses sit under live oaks on lots graded long ago, with newer subdivisions and golf-course lots such as Magnolia Point. Near the river the ground is low and the water table high in the wet season, so yards there hold water longer after a storm and a dry well is rarely the answer. The newer lots show the builder-grading pattern — a side-yard swale that settled flat, a back corner that collects the yard, downspouts that end at the wall. Typical Green Cove Springs work is downspout lines to the street, regrading and a swale, and a catch basin in the spot that ponds. It is near the outer edge of our zone; inspections are scheduled like the rest of Clay.
