When water runs across hard surfaces and collects in low areas, a surface-drain system grabs it at the source and pipes it away.
What we install
- Catch basins in low spots and at the base of slopes
- Channel / trench drains across driveways, patios and garage aprons
- Area drains for courtyards, planters and side yards
- Pop-up emitters and solid pipe to daylight the water safely
Designed to stay clear
We size grates and pipe for real Central Texas downpours and set them at the right elevation so they actually capture water instead of letting it run past. Surface drains often tie into a French drain or whole-yard system.
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between a catch basin and a French drain?
A catch basin captures surface water at a single low point; a French drain collects water along a whole trench, including below ground. Most yards need both working together.
Can you drain my patio or driveway?
Yes — a channel drain across the surface plus piping to carry it away is exactly what we do.
