When water collects in your yard after rain, it kills grass, creates mud, and can work its way toward your foundation. In Houston, where heavy storms drop inches of rain in a short time, poor drainage turns outdoor areas into swamps and increases the risk of foundation damage. Custom drainage systems redirect that water before it causes problems.

Texas Urban Elements installs French drains and yard drainage systems that move water away from problem areas and into safe discharge points. Each system is designed around your property's slope, soil type, and runoff patterns, so water flows where it should instead of sitting in low spots or backing up against your home.

If you are dealing with standing water or soggy areas in Houston, reach out to discuss what drainage solution fits your yard.

When you schedule drainage work in Houston, the crew maps out where water naturally flows and identifies low points where it collects. Trenches are dug along the problem areas, lined with gravel, and fitted with perforated pipe that captures runoff. The pipe is graded to carry water away from the yard and into a designated outlet such as a storm drain or drainage swale.

After installation, you will notice that water disappears faster after storms, grass grows back in areas that used to stay muddy, and soil near your foundation stays drier. French drains are buried and covered, so the system works without changing the look of your yard.

The work does not include regrading large areas or installing catch basins unless those are added to the scope. If tree roots or buried utilities are present, those are identified before digging to avoid delays or damage.

What is a French drain and how does it work?
A French drain is a gravel-filled trench with a perforated pipe that collects water from the soil and channels it away from the yard. It works by giving water an easier path to follow than sitting on the surface or soaking into your foundation.
How long does it take to install a drainage system?
Most yard drainage and French drain installations take between one and three days depending on the size of the area and how much digging is required. Complex jobs with multiple discharge points may take longer.
Where does the water go after it is collected?
The water is directed to a safe outlet such as a street storm drain, drainage ditch, or dry well. Texas Urban Elements makes sure the discharge point is legal and does not send water onto neighboring properties.
Why does my yard still flood after it rains heavily?
Flooding happens when the ground cannot absorb water fast enough or when there is no path for runoff to leave the area. Custom drainage gives water a controlled route off your property instead of letting it pool in low spots.
Can drainage work damage my lawn or landscaping?
Trenching does disturb the surface, but Texas Urban Elements restores the area after installation by filling trenches and replanting grass or ground cover. Most lawns recover within a few weeks.
