Get the Water Off the Lot
Houston rain on clay does not soak in. It sits on the lawn and against the house. Axe Lawn Services provides yard drainage in Houston to intercept that water and pipe it to an outlet.
The company is firefighter-owned. The work is the drains. It is not a repair for a cracked slab.
A yard with water in more than one place is a drainage system. One problem has one piece.
Which Piece Matches the Water
- Water in the soil: The yard stays wet for days, or water sits along the slab. A French drain is perforated pipe in gravel. It collects water along a run and moves it.
- Water on the surface: A downpour or a downspout turns a low spot into a pond. A catch basin takes that water through a grate.
- Water on a hard surface: Sheet flow off a drive or a patio. A channel drain intercepts it.
- Nowhere to send it: A dry well holds water underground only where the soil can take it. On tight clay it needs an overflow, or the pipe goes to the street.
How It Is Installed
The trench is graded so the water leaves the house. Pipe and gravel go in. The trench is backfilled and the grade is put back. The line will show until the grass fills in.
An older line that has stopped moving water can be opened up. Clogged pipe, collapsed corrugated line, and a run that was graded the wrong way are the usual finds.

Frequently Asked Questions About Yard Drainage
Why does my yard flood so easily?
The soil is clay. Once it is wet, more rain sits on top until something carries it off.
Do you repair existing drainage systems?
Yes. A line that no longer moves water can be traced. Clogs, collapsed pipe, and a bad grade are what usually stopped it.
Do I need a French drain or a catch basin?
A catch basin is for fast surface water, such as a downspout. A French drain is for water that stays in the soil. A lot of yards need both, tied into one system.
