Yard drainage in St. Johns & RiverTown

The area people now call St. Johns — RiverTown on the river, and Shearwater, Beachwalk, Twin Creeks and Durbin Park off County Road 210 and Race Track Road — is some of the newest housing in Northeast Florida, built over the last decade or so on what was pine forest and wetland. New does not mean dry. Each community was engineered with ponds and swales, but each lot was graded by its builder, and a few years in the same faults appear: the swale between houses has settled flat, the lot behind sits a little higher, and the downspouts drop onto splash blocks a foot from the slab. The ground is the familiar sand over hardpan, with the water table rising toward the river at RiverTown. HOAs set the rules on where water may go — usually the street or the pond easement, never the neighbor — and on sod restored to match. Typical work is regrading the side yard, downspout lines and a channel drain at the paver driveway apron.
