French Drain Installation

French Drain Installation for Soggy Central Texas Yards

A French drain can be useful when water is moving through saturated soil or collecting below the surface. The layout should be matched to the yard, slope, soil, and discharge point.

What This Page Helps Solve

These are the homeowner-visible symptoms this drainage service should speak to clearly.

Soggy Side Yard
Narrow side yards often trap runoff from rooflines, fences, and grade changes.
Low Areas
Water can sit in low pockets when the surrounding grade gives it nowhere to go.
Foundation Runoff
French drains may be one part of moving water away from areas near the home.

Approach

Drainage Options to Consider

The right answer may be a French drain, grading, a catch basin, downspout routing, a swale, or a combination.

Trench Layout
Plan the drain path around the water source, slope, landscape constraints, and discharge location.
Perforated Pipe and Rock
Use appropriate drainage pipe, clean aggregate, and filter fabric for the conditions.
Discharge Planning
Route collected water to a safe place without dumping runoff onto neighboring property.
