Water Remains After Rain
Depressions, settlement, reversed slope or blocked flow can hold runoff across the lawn instead of allowing controlled movement.

Backyard Flooding Solutions for Spring, TX Properties
Recurring water behind the house is rarely corrected by adding one drain at random. PLS Landscaping evaluates the grade, roof runoff, soil saturation, hardscape edges, neighboring flow and available discharge before building a system. The scope may combine regrading, catch basins, channel drains, French drains, downspout connections, solid pipe and lawn restoration.
What the Property Is Showing
Flooding Symptoms Point to Different Causes
The location and timing of standing water help determine whether the main problem is surface grade, concentrated roof runoff, saturated soil, blocked drainage or a hardscape transition.
Downspouts Flood the Bed
Large roof areas can release concentrated water beside the foundation or into a low planting bed.
Patios or Walkways Trap Flow
Concrete, pavers, borders or neighboring elevations can interrupt the original surface route and create a confined basin.
Ground Stays Soft for Days
Slow-draining or compacted soil may remain saturated even after visible surface water disappears.
Water Collects Near the House
Low foundation-side soil, landscape beds or concentrated discharge require careful elevation and outlet planning.
An Existing Drain Backs Up
Improper slope, collapsed pipe, root intrusion, undersized collection or a blocked discharge can limit performance.
System Selection
Match the Method to the Water
A complete plan can use more than one component. Collection, conveyance and discharge must work together without creating a new low area or directing runoff toward another structure.
Regrading and Surface Flow
Correct localized depressions, rebuild positive surface slope and shape transitions while maintaining suitable clearance below the foundation and exterior finishes.
View Spring Grading Services →Catch Basins and Channel Drains
Collect concentrated surface runoff at lawn depressions, patio thresholds, walkways, gates or other defined low points before conveying it through solid pipe.
French Drain Collection
Use perforated pipe, washed aggregate and filter fabric where subsurface water or a saturated corridor requires linear collection. It is not a substitute for every surface-grading problem.
Downspout Connections and Solid Pipe
Capture roof runoff separately and convey it through nonperforated drainage pipe so concentrated water is not released beside the house or into the lawn.
Discharge and Surface Restoration
Set pipe fall toward a workable outlet, protect the discharge area and restore affected soil, grade and sod after testing and backfill.

Construction Sequence
Protect the Flow Path From Start to Finish
Evaluate
Review elevations, runoff sources, soil, structures, access and discharge options.
Plan
Set collection points, pipe route, elevations and outlet before excavation.
Excavate
Locate affected irrigation and utilities, then open the required trench and inlet areas.
Install and Test
Install the specified system, verify pipe fall, connections, flow and discharge.
Backfill and Restore
Backfill, compact where appropriate, finish-grade and restore included lawn areas.

Spring Drainage FAQ
Questions About Backyard Flooding
Can backyard flooding be corrected with grading alone?
Sometimes. Regrading may correct localized depressions and poor surface slope when a workable outlet exists. Concentrated roof runoff, trapped hardscape areas or saturated soil can require drainage components in addition to grading.
Do I need a French drain or catch basins?
Catch basins collect visible surface water at defined low points. French drains collect subsurface water through perforated pipe and aggregate. Some properties need one method, while others require a coordinated combination.
Can downspouts connect to a French drain?
Roof runoff is generally conveyed through solid, nonperforated pipe. A project can include both roof-water piping and a French drain, but the components should be selected and connected according to the site plan.
Where will the drainage system discharge?
The outlet depends on the property's elevations, applicable restrictions and available discharge location. It must be evaluated before promising a pipe route or system performance.
Will the lawn be restored after drainage installation?
The estimate will identify the included backfill, finish grading and sod or landscape restoration. Drainage construction can disturb established lawn along trenches, inlet locations and equipment access routes.
Do you provide drainage evaluations in Spring?
Yes. Request a free onsite evaluation so PLS Landscaping can inspect water sources, grade, access, existing improvements and discharge options before preparing a construction estimate.
