A wet yard is rarely just bad luck — it's grade, soil, and where the water has (or hasn't) been given to go. We find the cause and fix it.
Drainage problems we solve
- Standing water and mosquito-breeding puddles
- Soggy, muddy lawn you can't mow or use
- Runoff washing out beds, mulch, and soil (erosion)
- Water flowing toward the house instead of away
- Low spots, swales, and negative grade
How we fix it
Depending on your lot we combine French drains, catch basins and channel drains, regrading/leveling for positive slope, and downspout drainage so roof water is carried away too. One integrated system — not a band-aid.
Why Central Texas yards flood
Heavy clay soil sheds water instead of absorbing it, and our rain comes in fast, intense bursts. Without grade and drains, that water has nowhere to go but your low spots and your foundation.
Frequently asked questions
Why won't my Austin yard drain?
Usually a mix of expansive clay soil that won't absorb water, flat or negative grade, and no drains to carry runoff away. We assess all three on-site.
Do you offer free quotes?
Yes — we come out, assess the grade and water flow, and give a fixed-price quote at no charge.
