What we install
French drains
Subsurface gravel-and-perforated-pipe drains that intercept groundwater and move it away from foundations, patios, and yards.
Surface drains & catch basins
Yard inlets that capture pooling water from low spots and gutter downspouts before it has time to soak in.
Downspout extensions
Buried PVC runs that carry roof water out past the foundation — eliminates the #1 cause of basement and crawlspace seepage.
Regrading & swales
Reshape the yard so water flows where you want it. Critical fix when the original builder grade is wrong.
Erosion control
Stone-armored swales, riprap, and slope stabilization for properties on grade or near drainage easements.
Foundation drainage
Perimeter French drains and waterproofing to protect Aledo foundations from the clay soil swell-shrink cycle.

Aledo drainage FAQs
How much does a French drain cost in Aledo?
Most residential French drains in Aledo run $30–$70 per linear foot installed, depending on depth, length, soil type, and whether we have to work around existing landscape or hardscape. Most full systems land in the $2,500–$8,000 range.
Why does my Aledo yard hold water for days after rain?
Aledo and most of Parker County sits on heavy clay soil with poor natural infiltration. Once the clay saturates, water has nowhere to go except sit on the surface or flow toward the lowest point — often your foundation. Drainage systems give it a designed path to a safe discharge point.
Do I need a permit for drainage work in Aledo?
Standard residential French drains and surface drains do not require a permit. Larger projects involving drainage easements, public right-of-way, or significant grade changes may. We handle the verification before any work starts.
How long does drainage installation take?
A typical 80–150 linear foot French drain takes 2–3 days. Larger multi-zone systems with regrading can take a week. Lucas walks you through the timeline in the proposal.
Will you tear up my landscape?
We remove sod in a strip just wide enough to dig the trench, then re-lay it after backfill. For finished landscape areas, we use a small excavator with care or hand-dig when needed. Cleanup is part of the job — not an extra.
