What we install
French drains
Perforated PVC in a gravel envelope wrapped with filter fabric. Sized to your soil, length, and discharge point — not a one-size kit.
Surface drains & catch basins
Yard inlets that capture pooling water and downspout overflow before it has time to soak in.
Downspout extensions
Buried PVC runs that carry roof water out past the foundation perimeter. The #1 fix for foundation moisture.
Acreage drainage
Weatherford and Parker County acreage often needs longer runs, multiple zones, and engineered swales. We are set up for it.
Regrading & swales
Reshape the yard so water flows where you want. Critical when the original builder grade is wrong — common on Parker County builds.
Foundation drainage
Perimeter French drains to protect Weatherford foundations from clay soil swell-shrink and chronic perimeter moisture.

Weatherford drainage FAQs
How much does a French drain cost in Weatherford?
Most residential French drains in Weatherford run $30–$70 per linear foot installed. Larger acreage systems with multiple zones land in the $5,000–$15,000 range. Every quote is itemized with materials and labor broken out.
Why does Parker County hold water so badly?
Most of Weatherford and Parker County sits on heavy clay soil with very poor natural infiltration. Once the clay saturates, water sits on the surface or flows toward the lowest point — usually the foundation or a low corner of the yard. Engineered drainage gives it a designed path out.
Can you handle drainage on acreage properties?
Yes — large-lot and acreage drainage is one of our specialties. We have done multi-zone systems on Weatherford-area properties with runs over 300 linear feet, full regrading, and stone-armored swales.
Do I need a permit?
Standard residential French drains and surface drains do not require a permit in Weatherford. Work that affects drainage easements, public right-of-way, or significant grade changes may. We handle the verification before any work starts.
How long does installation take?
A typical 100–150 linear foot French drain takes 2–3 days. Larger systems with regrading can take a week. Lucas walks you through the timeline in the written proposal.
