Drainage
Done Right. First Time.
East Texas clay holds water like a bathtub. If your yard floods after every rain or your driveway stays soggy for days, we fix it — French drains, culverts, swales, or full regrading.
What We Do
Fixes That Last — Not Just Fixes That Look Good
East Texas clay is stubborn. Water that won't drain, yards that stay soggy for a week after rain, driveways that wash out every spring — it's all connected to soil that doesn't perc and grading that wasn't done right the first time. We trace the problem back to its actual source before we propose anything, so you don't pay to fix the same issue twice.
- French drains, culverts, swales, and detention ponds — all types
- Proper fall and outlet engineering for long-term performance
- East Texas clay and poor original grading are our bread and butter
- Residential yards, rural properties, and commercial sites of any scale

What Affects the Price
Every job is different. Here's what we look at when we put together your estimate — so there are no surprises on job day.
System type: French drain, swale, culvert, or detention pond
Total linear footage of pipe, channel, or trench required
Pipe diameter and material: corrugated metal vs. PVC
Depth of excavation — East Texas clay can be tough going
Soil permeability and available outlet location on the property
Whether regrading is needed across the full drainage area
We don't quote over the phone. Every estimate is done on-site because that's the only way to give you a number you can count on. No ballparks, no surprises.
Our Process
How We Approach
Drainage
Find the Real Cause, Not Just the Symptom
We trace exactly how water moves across your property during a rain event. Most drainage problems in Kaufman and Rockwall counties come from clay soil that won't perc, poor original grading, or an undersized culvert. We find the cause before we propose anything.
Install the Right System
French drains trenched and backfilled with proper fall. Pipe laid, gravel packed, culverts set, headwalls poured where needed. No shortcuts — East Texas gets enough rain that a shortcut shows up fast.
Engineer the Outlet & Regrade
Discharge point placed and graded so water exits cleanly without creating a new erosion problem downstream. Surface regraded so all future runoff flows away from your structures and toward the outlet naturally.

Common Questions
Drainage FAQ
Answer
French drains work best when water pools in a specific low spot. Swales redirect surface runoff across a broader area. East Texas clay tends to need French drains more than sandy regions — we assess your grade and soil and tell you what will actually fix it.
