Yard drainage in San Marco, Jacksonville FL

San Marco grew up on the south bank of the St. Johns in the 1920s, and the streets around San Marco Square still have the Mediterranean revival houses, tile roofs and narrow lots from that boom, with Granada, Miramar and Lakewood filling in through the following decades. It is part of the City of Jacksonville, whose median house dates from 1986, but San Marco's stock is much older than that — and old lots here have had a century to settle. The houses nearest the river on River Road and the streets behind it sit low, with the water table close to the surface in summer, while big live oaks shade the yards, fill the gutters and lift the walks. Drainage work in San Marco usually means getting roof water off tile and flat roofs through enough downspouts, piping it under the lawn to the street, and fixing the low corner by the garage or the courtyard with a catch basin, without disturbing the trees.
