Residential properties.
Water collecting near planting beds, patios, or paths can affect how a yard functions. Share photographs taken during and after rain, along with details about how long water remains.

French Drain in Central Texas.
Address the water. Protect the landscape.
Persistent wet areas need a site-specific response. A French drain may be part of that response, but the first step is understanding where water comes from, how it moves, and where it can appropriately discharge.
Discuss your project ↗Define the scope.
- Review of recurring wet areas and affected landscape features
- Discussion of collection points and discharge routes
- Drainage work coordinated with beds, paths, and irrigation
- Restoration of landscape surfaces within the agreed scope
Plan the work.
A drain needs a suitable outlet. We will discuss the affected area and available site information before recommending a scope; a French drain is not a universal answer to every drainage problem.
Commercial properties.
For shared landscapes, drainage work must account for pedestrian use, vehicle access, and downstream areas. Property plans and information about existing drainage infrastructure help define the next step.
Common questions.
Is a French drain the same as a surface drain?
No. French drains typically collect subsurface water through a gravel-filled trench and perforated pipe. Surface inlets collect runoff at the surface. The site determines which approach, or combination, is appropriate.
What information helps with an initial inquiry?
Include photographs of standing water, the locations of downspouts and existing drains, and any grading or drainage plans. Note whether the problem began after construction or landscape changes.
