Standing water in your yard does more than ruin the lawn. It can work its way toward your foundation and give mosquitoes a place to breed. We install French drain systems that move water away from your property underground, out of sight. Every system starts with a site evaluation and a camera inspection so we can see how water actually moves across your lot. We then build a sloped trench lined with filter fabric and gravel around perforated pipe, which keeps the system from clogging over time. W...

Pooling water, soggy patches, and slow runoff are signs your yard is not shedding water the way it should. Our yard drainage services address the whole property, from figuring out where water collects to choosing the right fix for the soil and slope. Houston's clay soils and heavy rains make careful design important, so we begin with an inspection and then recommend solutions that fit your ground and your goals. Depending on what we find, that may mean grading changes, catch basins, or undergrou...

Water that has nowhere to go will eventually find its way into your lawn, your garden beds, or under your home. Our drainage work is aimed at giving that water a planned path away from your property. We look at how your lot slopes, where water gathers after a storm, and how it reaches your foundation, then build a system to match. Options include surface grading, yard drains, and buried pipe. Each job is done with careful attention to detail, a clean worksite, and clear communication, so you alw...

Large trees near your home can send roots toward your foundation, where they chase moisture and slowly push, crack, and shift the structure. We install root barrier fabric vertically between your foundation and the trees causing the problem. The barrier runs deep enough to stop most root systems from getting through. We work with pier-and-beam and slab foundations and have experience working around existing landscaping and utilities. Our crew uses equipment that limits disruption to your yard, a...

Our projects include paver patios, outdoor lighting, planting beds, and water features. Because we also handle drainage, the new landscape is built to handle heavy rain, so your backya...

A backyard that floods every time it rains is more than an inconvenience, since the water can settle against your foundation and damage plants and lawn. We install backyard drainage systems designed around how your particular lot drains. Our process begins with an inspection to find the low spots and the path water takes across the property. We then build the solution, often a French drain, surface drain, or graded swale, using sloped trenches, durable perforated pipe, and filter fabric. We prot...

A slow or fully clogged yard drain can back water up across your lawn and into areas you want to keep dry. Our clean out service uses high-pressure water jetting to clear compacted soil, debris, and root intrusions from the line without harming the pipe. After the clean out, we run a waterproof camera through the system to check for cracks, shifted joints, or other weak points. You receive a report that includes the video, so you can see the condition of your drainage for yourself. Scheduling th...

When you hire us for a French drain, you get a crew that designs the system around your property rather than applying a generic fix. We evaluate the site with camera inspections, plan the slope and route of the trench, and install high-quality perforated pipe wrapped in gravel and filter fabric so it keeps working. Our team takes care with the digging, keeps the site tidy, and communicates throughout the job. Once the system is in, we restore the surrounding ground so your yard looks as good as...
