What Does a French Drain Cost in Central Texas?
"It depends" is the honest answer — but here's exactly what it depends on so you can compare quotes apples-to-apples.
What drives the price
- Length & depth of the trench
- Soil & rock — Central Texas limestone can slow digging
- Where the water goes — daylight, street, or a dry well
- Restoration — sod, beds, or hardscape to put back
Don't buy the cheapest trench
The drains we get called to replace almost always skipped filter fabric or slope — so they silted up or never flowed. A correctly built French drain with fabric, clean gravel and proper fall costs a bit more and lasts decades.
