Yard drainage in Neptune Beach

Neptune Beach is small and old by beach standards: about 2,400 detached homes with a median build year of 1973 — the oldest of any town in our zone — 72 percent owner-occupied and a median value near $614,000. Older beach cottages and ranch houses sit on small lots between the ocean and Penman Road, and many have been added onto over the years, which changed the grading around them. The ground is sand with the water table about 2 feet down, so a summer storm has nowhere to soak in once the sand is full. Additions, pool decks and paver patios that went in later often send water back toward the original house. Typical Neptune Beach work is downspout lines to the street, a catch basin or a channel drain at the low edge of a patio or deck, and regrading the strip between the house and the addition. Dry wells are tested first; with water this close to the surface they usually do not work.
