Yard drainage in Jacksonville Beach

Jacksonville Beach has about 6,300 detached homes with a median build year of 1983, 68 percent owner-occupied and a median value near $524,000. Sand all the way down should mean perfect drainage, and on the surface it does; the catch is the water table, which near the ocean sits only about 2 feet below the yard and comes up in the wet season. After a 3-inch storm there is nowhere for the water to soak, so it stands in the lowest spot — often the pool deck or the side yard between two close-set houses. Lots are small, so a short French drain or a catch basin tied to a downspout line to the street usually covers it; dry wells are tested first and often ruled out. Isle of Palms and the streets west of A1A have a lot of paver driveways and walks that salt air and sun fade fast, so sealing is a regular job here. Neptune Beach and Atlantic Beach, just north, share the same ground and are in the zone.
