Professional surface drainage solutions that eliminate standing water, prevent erosion, and protect your foundation from water damage.
Schedule Free EvaluationYard drainage systems—often called surface drainage systems—are designed to collect and redirect surface water that accumulates on your property. These systems capture rainwater, irrigation runoff, and sheet flow before it can pool, erode soil, or migrate toward your home and foundation.
Yard drainage typically uses catch basins, channel drains, and underground piping to intercept water at ground level and move it safely away from structures.
Unlike French drains, which relieve subsurface groundwater, yard drainage systems address visible surface water problems before they become structural or landscape issues.
Pools of water that remain 24-48 hours after rain indicate poor drainage. This kills grass, creates mud, attracts mosquitoes, and prevents yard use.
Natural depressions or improperly graded areas collect water from surrounding surfaces, creating persistent drainage problems.
Channeling, gullies, or washed-out areas indicate excessive surface water flow that needs to be controlled and redirected.
Water pooling on hardscapes indicates improper grading or lack of drainage infrastructure to handle runoff.
Square or round grated boxes installed at low points to collect standing water. Features sediment trap to prevent pipe clogs. Ideal for yards, driveways, and patios.
Linear grated trenches that intercept water along driveways, sidewalks, or patios. Efficiently captures sheet flow before it reaches problem areas.
Low-profile grated drains placed in lawn areas to capture surface water. Can be easily mowed over and blend with landscaping.
Heavy-duty channel systems for high-volume water management along garage doors, gates, or property perimeters.
Map water flow patterns, identify collection points, and design optimal drain placement. Evaluate root systems and determine protection methods needed.
Professional sod cutter removes and preserves grass. Excavate for catch basins and drainage pipe with engineered 2% slope for optimal water flow.
Install catch basins, channel drains, and underground piping. Apply copper-based root protection systems. Connect to proper discharge locations.
Backfill and compact soil, replace original sod to minimize landscape impact. Test system with water to verify proper flow and drainage performance.
We engineer systems with 2% grade—double the industry minimum—ensuring superior water flow, faster drainage, and zero pooling in pipes.
Specialized knowledge of North Texas clay soil drainage challenges. Our systems account for poor percolation and soil expansion/contraction.
Professional sod cutter equipment preserves and replaces original grass. Clean installation process maintains your yard's appearance.
